How was the tiger shooting arranged And  What kind of tiger was chosen for the purpose?

Answer: The villagers who were eager to get the reward of thousand rupees from Mrs. Packletide made all the arrangements for the tiger hunt. 

A platform had been constructed on a comfortable and convenient place on a tree for Mrs. Packletide and her paid companion. 

A goat, with a particularly persistant bleat, was tethered at the correct distance. An old and weak tiger, who had given up hunting and confined himself to eating domestic animals,was chosen for the purpose.
