In a class of 120 STUDENTS, 40% of the students individually got number of sweets that are 30% of the total students and each of the remaining 60% of the students got number of sweets that are 40% of the total number of students.

According to the question,

40% of the total 120 students = (40/100) × 120 = 48

So, No. of sweets received by each of these 48 students is 30% of the total students

⇒ number of sweets $(= \;48 \times \FRAC{{30}}{{100}} \times 120 = 1728)$

60% of the total 120 students = (60/100) × 120 = 72

So, No. of sweets received by 72 each of these 72 students is 40% of the total students

⇒ number of sweets $(= 72 \times \frac{{40}}{{100}} \times 120 = 3456)$

∴ Total No. of sweets received by 120 students = 1728 + 3456 = 5184

∴ Numbers of Sweets distributed among 120 students were 5184.
