Three ethnic groups - A, B and C - are negotiating the allocation of regional resources. Their core demands are:
A: (1) an autonomous local council that controls education, (2) 20 % of the regional revenue.
B: (1) 30 % of the regional revenue, (2) retention of the existing security forces.
C: (1) guarantee of land rights amounting to 15 % of the disputed land, (2) one seat in the regional parliament.
The total regional revenue is fixed and must be fully allocated, and the disputed land totals 1 000 ha. The mediator must propose a package that satisfies at least two demands of each group without exceeding the revenue or land limits. Which combination of allocations meets the criteria?

Give A an autonomous education council and 20 % of the regional revenue; give B 30 % of the revenue and let it keep the existing security forces; allocate 150 ha (15 %) of the disputed land to C, give C one seat in the regional parliament, but give C no share of the revenue.
