    A Rs.12,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs.17,300 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs.15,700 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs.10,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let the earnings of B be Rs. 100n

    Amount received by sister = (3/12) ├Ч 0.65 ├Ч 100n = Rs. 16.25n

    So, 16.25n = 1,950

    Or, n = 120

    Therefore, earnings of B = 120 ├Ч 100 = Rs. 12,000
