    A 270 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 630 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 450 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 360 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let ‘A’ has Rs. a Therefore, amount possessed by ‘D’ = Rs. 2a Amount possessed by ‘B’ = 1.125 × 2a = Rs. 2.25a Let the average amount possessed by all four be Rs. x Therefore, amount possessed by ‘B’ = Rs. x According to the question, 2.25a + 2a + a = 4x – x Or, 5.25a = 3x Or, x/a = 7/4 Therefore, a = 440 × 4/11 = Rs. 160 Amount possessed by ‘B’ = 2.25a = Rs. 360
