• A. ₹ 270
• B. 370
• C. 60
• D. 120

Answer 1

The correct option is A

₹ 270

Given : 2 : 7

Let the parts of amount divided be 2x and 7x

Second part = 210 $\Rightarrow$ 7x = 210

$\Rightarrow$ x= $\frac{210}{7}$

$\Rightarrow$ x= 30

Total amount = 2x + 7x = 9 x = $9\times 30$

Total amount = ₹ 270
