1. Each child gets = 5 sweets

   24 children will get 24\times5=12024×5=120 sweets.

   Total number of sweets = 120

   If number of children is reduced by 4, then children left = 24 – 4 = 20

   Now each child will get sweets = \frac{120}{20}=6

   20

   120

   =6 sweets.

   Hence, each sent will get 6 sweets.
