Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : Rs. 3,100 Given : Total sum of money = 8200 A had Rs. 500 more than B and C had Rs. 300 more than A. Concept used: Using linear equation. Calculation : Let the money of B be 'x' So, money of A = x + 500 Now, money of C = x + 500 + 300 = x + 800 According to the Question , x + x + 500 + x + 800 = 8200 ⇒ 3x + 1300 = 8200 ⇒ 3x = 8200 – 1300 ⇒ 3x = 6900 ⇒ x = 2300 So, C's share = 2300 + 800 = Rs. 3100 ∴ C's share is Rs. 3100. |
