Solution

The correct option is A ₹98
Answer: Option B

Explanation:
Amount of money with Riya = ₹MCLXXXV
Amount of money with Ryan = ₹MLXXXVII

Let us convert the roman numerals into Hindu-Arabic numerals.
MCLXXXV = 1000 + 100 + 50 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 5
= 1185
MLXXXVII = 1000 + 50 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 5 + 1 + 1
1087

Amount of money that Riya has extra than Ryan = ₹1185 - ₹1087
= ₹98
