B. Rs. 1285

C. Rs. 1690

D. Rs. 1785

E. None of these

Answer: Option D

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Let the money added by Rahul be Rs. x
Then,
$$ \Rightarrow \frac{{\left( {1150 + x} \right) \times 9 \times 3}}{{100}} - $$     $$\frac{{1150 \times 6 \times 3}}{{100}} = $$    $$274.95$$
⇒ 1150 × 27 + 27x - 1150 × 18 = 27495
⇒ 27x + 1150 × (27 - 18) = 27495
⇒ 27x = 27495 - 10350
⇒ 27x = 17145
⇒ x = 635
So, sum lent by Rahul to Sachin
= Rs. ( 1150 + 635 )
= Rs. 1785
