      Solution

      Let the number of gifts received by the first child be x. Number of gifts received by second child = x/2 Number of gifts received by third child = x/3 Number of gifts received by fourth child = x/4 According to the question-   x + x/2 + x/3 + x/4 = 775 (12x + 6x + 4x + 3x)/12 = 775 25x/12 = 775 x = 775 x 12/25 x = 372 Total number of gifts received by first and second child-   = x + x/2 = 3x/2 = 3/2 x 372 = 558
