Let the population of village A and Village B be A and B respectively.

⇒ A + B = 8250

⇒ 65B/100 + B = 8250

⇒ B = 5000

⇒ A = 3250

Let adults of village A and Village B be P and Q respectively while children of village A and Village B be S and T respectively.

⇒ P + S = 3250

⇒ 160S/100 + S = 3250

S = 1250 = children of village A

P = 2000 = adults of village A

⇒ Q + T = 5000

⇒ 1.5T + T = 5000

T = 2000 = children of village B

Q = 3000 = adults of village B

Required difference = 3000 – 2000 = 1000
