Solution

Sure, let's calculate the total requirement of calories and proteins for each of the two families.

For Pradeep's family:

  • Men: 2 men * 240 calories = 480 calories, 2 men * 55 gm protein = 110 gm protein
  • Women: 3 women * 1990 calories = 5970 calories, 3 women * 45 gm protein = 135 gm protein
  • Children: 1 child * 1800 calories = 1800 calories, 1 child * 33 gm protein = 33 gm protein

So, the total calorie requirement for Pradeep's family is 480 + 5970 + 1800 = 8250 calories And the total protein requirement for Pradeep's family is 110 + 135 + 33 = 278 gm protein

For Prabhat's family:

  • Men: 1 man * 240 calories = 240 calories, 1 man * 55 gm protein = 55 gm protein
  • Women: 1 woman * 1990 calories = 1990 calories, 1 woman * 45 gm protein = 45 gm protein
  • Children: 2 children * 1800 calories = 3600 calories, 2 children * 33 gm protein = 66 gm protein

So, the total calorie requirement for Prabhat's family is 240 + 1990 + 3600 = 5830 calories And the total protein requirement for Prabhat's family is 55 + 45 + 66 = 166 gm protein

So, Pradeep's family needs 8250 calories and 278 gm protein, while Prabhat's family needs 5830 calories and 166 gm protein.
