What type of state did the Virginia Plan benefit?

The Virginia Plan (aka Randolph Plan) for a bicameral US Congress would have benefited "larger" mainly Southern states whose populations (even without counting slaves) exceeded those of smaller Northern states. Both houses would have representation based on population. The Connecticut Compromise gave all states equal representation in the US Senate, and the population of the North, bolstered by immigration, eventually caught up to the South.

How did the great compromise solve the problem of reprentation in congress?

The Great Compromise solved the debate created by the New Jersey Plan and the Virginia Plan. The New Jersey Plan was proposed by William Paterson in response to the Virginia Plan. The Virginia Plan wanted Congress to be based on population; states with larger populations would have more representation. Those states with small populations were against this idea. Their solution was the New Jersey Plan, which would give equal representation to all states. Both the Virginia Plan and the New Jersey Plan were not accepted. Instead, the Connecticut Plan, or the Great Compromise, was adopted. This created two branches in Congress. The Senate, which reflected the New Jersey Plan and gave equal representation to all states, and the House of Representatives, which reflected the Virginia Plan and gave representation to states based on population.

Why was the Virginia Plan so helpful for populated states?

the strengths of the Virginia plan was to create a 3-branch legislature consisting of a two-chamber, bicameral legislature, a powerful executive branch and a judicial branch. The Virginia plan did not give equal representation to all states. It benefited the southern states for protecting slavery. This plan practically eliminated the voices of the smaller states by pegging representation in both houses of the congress to population.
