AI explanation

Let the total number of laddoos remain constant between the two divisions; in the first division, Rajvalli receives 27 out of 81 total parts, which is exactly one-third of the laddoos. In the revised division, she receives 37 out of 111 total parts, which is also exactly one-third of the laddoos. Because her share remains one-third of the total in both scenarios, her individual amount does not change, resulting in no gain and no loss.
