    A 180 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 168 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 130 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 118 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let the contribution of the sixth friend be Rs. 'p'. So, (70 × 5 + p) ÷ 6 + 50 = p Or, (350 + p) ÷ 6 = p - 50 Or, 350 + p = 6 × (p - 50) Or, 350 + p = 6p - 300 Or, 5p = 650 Or, p = 130
