D)Everyone gets five pieces of gold.
E)The amount people receive should be distributed based on a lottery system.

Answer 1

Answer: B) People who need more money receive more pieces of gold.

Explanation:

Indian society is based on moral principles for the most part and one of those is equity which means that those in need of help should be able to get more help than those that aren't.

In this scenario therefore, Inderjit will give more gold to those people who need it more. This will ensure that they are able to afford their needs and wants more and bring them closer to the same level as the other villages.
