Solution

The correct option is C Rs. $8000$
Let Ashok have Rs. $x$
Amount given to Jayant $= 40 %$ of Rs. $x = \frac{2 x}{5}$
Amount given to prakash $=$ $\frac{1}{4} \times$ Rs. $\frac{2 x}{5} =$ Rs. $\frac{x}{10}$
Given, $\frac{x}{10} - 200 = 600$
$\Rightarrow \frac{x}{10} = 800 \Rightarrow x =$ Rs. $8000$
