The correct option is C Amar gives Akbar Rs. 1.95 and Rs. 2 to Anthony
26.65 + 42.75 + 53 = 122.40
Proportionate amount of Amar, Akbar and Anthony in the ratio of 3:4:5 is Rs. 30.60, Rs. 40.80 and Rs. 51 respectively.
$\begin{matrix} N o w & A m a r & A k b a r & A n t h o n y 30.60 & 40.80 & 51.00 26.65 & 42.75 & 53.00 \end{matrix}$
