Answer 1

each "share" needs "15" (2+3+4+6) "portions/bags"

2000 distributions

A-4000 bags/80000 kg

B-6000 bags/120000 kg

C-8000 bags/1680000 kg

D-12000 bags/240000 kg

Explanation:

Answer 2

2+3+4+6 = 15 parts

Village B gets 3 of 15 parts

3/15 * 30000 = 6000 bags

Village C gets 4 of 15 parts

4/15 * 6000 = 8000 bags
