Answer 1

Given :

Total amount = Rs 516

Solution :

Let assume that C share is 100 unit

Now according to the question :

Share of B = 100 - 25% = 75 unit

and share of A = 75 × (125 / 100 )

⇒ 93.75 unit

Now the total sum = Rs 516

i.e. ( 100 + 75 + 93.75 ) = 516

⇒ 268.75 unit = 516

⇒ 1 unit = Rs 1.92

Now the share of C = 1.92 × 100

⇒ Rs 192

Hence the correct answer is "Rs 192".
