Solution
The correct option is C 600
Suppose John’s share = Rs 2x and Jenny’s share is Rs x.
Then, Rs 2x + Rs x = Rs 900 or 3x = 900 or x = 300
Thus, John’s share = Rs 2x = Rs 600
600
Suppose John’s share = Rs 2x and Jenny’s share is Rs x.
Then, Rs 2x + Rs x = Rs 900 or 3x = 900 or x = 300
Thus, John’s share = Rs 2x = Rs 600
