Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. ₹2,200.
The ratio is 2 : 1 : 3 = 2x : 1x : 3x
Total part = 2x + x + 3x = 6x
So,
The value of one part = 1200/6 = ₹200
First share = 2x = ₹400
Second share = x = ₹200
Third share = 3x = ₹600
Now,
Three times the largest share = 3 × 600 = ₹1800
Two times the smallest share = 2 × 200 = ₹400
The total amount = 1800 + 400 = ₹2200
