• 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.

Given amount of second part = 210

$\Rightarrow$ 7x = 210

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

$\Rightarrow$ x = 30

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

Total amount = ₹ 270
