Giraffe has long tongue mainly for these reasons ----
1. Reaching food

Giraffes eat mostly Acacia trees. These trees are tall and covered with thorns.
Giraffes can reach this much height and their long tung lets it strips leaves between the thorns without getting poked !!!

14 22 8 16
Answer
If Rs 80 get equally divided between 4 friends, each one would get Rs 20 !!!
But alas , that's not the case here ......
