Answer & Solution
Correct Answer:
Option
B
$$\eqalign{
& {\text{Remainder}} \cr
& = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\left[ {671 + \left( {3 + 7 + 9} \right)} \right] \cr
& = {\text{Rs}}{\text{. }}690 \cr
& {\text{A's share}} \cr
& = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\left[ {\left( {690 \times \frac{1}{6}} \right) - 3} \right] \cr
& = {\text{Rs}}{\text{. }}112 \cr
& {\text{B's share}} \cr
& = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\left[ {\left( {690 \times \frac{2}{6}} \right) - 7} \right] \cr
& = {\text{Rs}}{\text{. }}223 \cr
& {\text{C's share}} \cr
& = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\left[ {\left( {690 \times \frac{3}{6}} \right) - 9} \right] \cr
& = {\text{Rs}}{\text{. }}336 \cr} $$
