• B. Rs.$3200$
• C. Rs.$9600$
• D. None of these

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Rs.$5600$

$\Rightarrow$ Ratio of Kavita and Reena amount is $4:3$.

$\Rightarrow$ Let their shares be $Rs.4x$ and $Rs.3x.$

$\Rightarrow$ Then, $3x=2400$

$\Rightarrow$ $x=800$

$\therefore$ Total amount = $4x+3x=7x=Rs.(7\times 800)=Rs.5600$

$\therefore$ The total amount is $Rs.5600.$
