  1. Step-by-step explanation:

    total money distributed= rs.12000

    money each winner got= rs.200

    money each participant who didn’t win get= rs.50

    let the winners be x

    then the participants who didn’t win = total participants – winners

    = 120-x

    total money distributed among winners = x*200= 200x

    total money distributed among the participants who didn’t win= 50[120-x]

    = 6000-50x

    no.of winners = 200x + 6000 -50x = 12000

    150x+6000=12000

    150x= 12000-6000

    150x= 6000

    x= 6000/150

    x= 40[winners]
