A sum of ₹1,200 is shared among Ritu, Sonal and Tina. Ritu gets ₹100 more than Sonal, and Tina gets twice as much as Sonal. How much does Tina get?
Tina gets ₹550. With Sonal's share x, the total is 4x + 100 = 1200, so x = 275 and Tina's share 2x = 550.
- A₹500Correct
- B₹550
- C₹600
- D₹450
Explanation
Let Sonal get x. Ritu gets x + 100 and Tina gets 2x. Total: x + x + 100 + 2x = 1200, so 4x = 1100 and x = 275. Tina gets 550. Check: 375 + 275 + 550 = 1200. Option ₹500 would be correct only if the total were different.
