Solution

Step 1: (a) Divide sandwiches equally among three people.

Since there are three people ( Arya, Abhimanyu, and Vivek ) to eat, Arya should divide each sandwich into 3 equal parts and give 1 part to each person so that they all get an equal share.

Step 2: (b) Calculate part of a sandwich will each boy get.

Since, each sandwich is divided into 3 parts.

Hence,

(a) Arya can divide each sandwich into three equal parts so that each person receives an equal share.

(b) Each boy will receive 13 part of a sandwich.
