      Solution

      ATQ,

      Let the amounts received by Rina and Meena be Rs. 5x and Rs. 3x, respectively.

      Amount received by Tanu = 5x Γ— 1.40 = Rs. 7x

      According to question:

      7x – 3x = 2800

      4x = 2800, x = 700

      So, the total amount distributed by Anil = 5x + 3x + 7x = 15x = 15 Γ— 700 = Rs. 10,500
