Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e Rs.700 and Rs.560.

Understanding/Application

Total money = Rs. 1260

Ravi and Mohan's share is in the ratio 5: 4.

Let the common ratio be x.

5x + 4x = 1260

9x = 1260

x = 140

Ravi's share = 5x = 5(140) = Rs. 700

Mohan's share = 4x = 4(140) = Rs. 560
