families so that the fund amount and amount received per family can be easily adjusted based on daily revised
numbers. The total fund allotted for a village is x3 + 6x2 + 20x + 9 . The officer has divided the fund equally among
families of the village and each family receives an amount of x2 + 2x + 2 . After distribution, some amount is left.
