An amount of Rs 735 was divided between A, B and C. If each of them had received Rs 25 less, their shares would have been in the ratio 1:3:2. The money received by C was:
ARs 245
BRs 220
CRs 200
DRs 195
✓ Correct Answer: A — Rs 245
Total less = 3 * 25 = 75. New total = 735 - 75 = 660. New ratio 1:3:2, sum=6. C's new share = (2/6)*660 = 220. Original C share = 220 + 25 = 245.
