Pooja, Chameli and Anju have a total of ₹450 in their purses. Pooja has ₹50 more than Chameli. Anju has two times what Pooja has. How much do Pooja, Chameli, and Anju, respectively, have in their purses?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. ₹125, ₹75 and ₹250.
Let Chameli = C and Pooja = C + 50
Anju = 2(C + 50)
C + (C + 50) + 2(C + 50) = 450
⇒ 4C + 150 = 450
⇒ 4C = 300
⇒ C = 75
Chameli = ₹75
Pooja = 75 + 50 = ₹125
Anju = 2 × 125 = ₹250
