Solution

The correct option is B ₹ 50,000
It is known, the ratio of their loot is 2 : 3.
We know, A received ₹ 20,000
$∴$ Value of 2 parts = ₹ 20,000
$\Rightarrow$ Value of 1 part = ₹ 10,000
$\Rightarrow$ Value of 3 parts = ₹ 30,000

$∴$ B received ₹ 30,000
Therefore, the total loot = Loot with A + Loot with B
$\Rightarrow$ 20,000 + 30,000 = ₹ 50,000.
