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.
