Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. ₹ 792.

Given:

Rohit and Manoj together have ₹ 1,320.

If 10/21 of Rohit's amount equals to 5/7 of Manoj's amount

Calculations:

Let the amount with rohit and manoj be R and M.

According to the question,

⇒ (10/21) × R = (5/7) × M

⇒ R/M = 3/2

Total amount = 3x + 2x = 5x

⇒ 5x = 1320

⇒ x = 264

Amount with rohit = 264 × 3 = 792
