Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Rs 100.

Given:

A sum of money is divided among A, B and C in the ratio 3 : 2 : 5

If the share of C is Rs 300 more than B

Calculations:

Let the share of A, B and C be 3x, 2x and 5x.

According to the question;

⇒ 5x - 2x = 300

⇒ 3x = 300

⇒ x = 300/3 = 100

Hence, A will get more money than B = 3x - 2x = x = Rs 100
