Solution

The correct option is B ₹8p
Given, Ramesh, Suresh and Mahesh share some amount of money in the ratio of 4:6:7.
Assume each of them will get ₹4x, ₹6x and ₹7x money respectively.

Now, If Mahesh gives Ramesh ₹2p amount of money left with Mahesh = ₹(7x - 2p).
And, After getting ₹2p, Ramesh will be having ₹(4x + 2p).

As given, each of them will have same amount of money after this
$⟹ ₹ (7 x - 2 p) = ₹ (4 x + 2 p) ⟹ 3 x = 4 p ⟹ x = \frac{4 p}{3}$

Money with the Suresh = ₹6x
$⟹ ₹ 6 \times \frac{4 p}{3} = ₹ 2 \times 4 p = ₹ 8 p$

Hence, option 'b' is correct.
