Four friends, Priya, Kavya, Gaurvi, and Shalini, have different amounts of money with them. If Priya takes ₹88 from Kavya, then she will have an amount equal to what Gaurvi has. Shalini and Kavya together have a total of ₹550. If Gaurvi takes ₹25 from Shalini, she will have an amount equal to what Kavya has. If the total amount with Shalini, Kavya, and Gaurvi is ₹840, how much money does Priya have?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. ₹202.
Accordin to the question;
Priya + 88 = Kavya ----------- (1)
Shalini + Kavya = 550 ----------- (2)
Gauri + 25 = Kavya ------------- (3)
Shalini + Kavya + Gauri = 840 ------------ (4)
From equation 4 and 2;
550 + Kavya = 840
Kavya = 840 - 550 = 290 ---------- (5)
From equation 5 and 1;
Priya + 88 = 290
Priya = 202
Thus, Priya has Rs.202.
