Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 2,800
A sum of Rs 8,200 was divided among A, B, and C in such a way that A has Rs 500 more than B, and C has Rs 300 more than A. How much was A's share ( in Rs)?
Let's assume the money of A = Rs. x
⇒The money of B = x - 500
⇒The money of C = x + 300
Now according to the question,
⇒x + x - 500 + x + 300 = 8,200
⇒3x = 8,400
⇒x = 2,800
So, the share of A = Rs 2,800
