Solution

The correct option is B

Rs.1,785


Let Manish added Rs.x to the borrowed money then from the question you can get

(1150+x)×3×91001150×3×6100=274.95
Or 31050+27x20700=27495
27x=17145
x=1714527=635
So manish lent to sunil =1150+635=1785
Hence option (b) is the answer.

So Manish lent to Sunil = 1150 + 635 = 1785 Hence option (b) is the answer
