Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. ₹2,625.

A : B = 3 : 4 ×(14)

B : C = 8 : 5 ×(7)

C : D = 7 : 10 ×(5)

A : B : C : D = 42 : 56 : 35 : 50

Share of C = 3542+56+35+50×13725{35\over42+56+35+50} \times13725

⇒ 35183×13725{35\over183} \times13725

⇒ 75 × 35 = ₹2,625
