Question

A amount of $Rs.735$ was divided between A,B and C. If each of them had received $Rs.25$ less, their shares would have been in the ratio $1:3:2$. The money received by C was

• A. Rs. $195$
• B. Rs. $200$
• C. Rs. $225$
• D. Rs. $245$

Answer 1

The correct option is D Rs. $245$

As per the given data,

$(A+25)+(B+25)+(C+25)=735$

$⟹A+B+C=735-75=660$ ....... $\left(1\right)$

$A:B:C=1:3:2$

$⟹A=x,B=3x,C=2x$

$⟹x+3x+2x=660$ ...... (From (1))

$⟹x=110$

Money received by C $=2\times 110+25=Rs.245$

Hence, option D is correct.
