(c) Area of the field 1/2 (18 x 40) = 360 m2
Father divided the field in the ratio 2 : 1 : 1 by keeping bigger part for himself.
He devided it into two equal parts. One part he kept for himself and other part he further divided between the sons.
Total area distributed to the sons = 360 ÷ 2 = 180 m2
