    what he received from A to C. After paying Rs. 240 to the taxi driver out of the amount he gets from B, C is now left with Rs. 2400. How much amount did A have?

    D 7800 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let A’s amount be x. C now having the amount of Rs. 2400, => [x × (45/100) × (2/3)] – 240 = 2400 => x × (45/100) × (2/3) = 2640 => x = 2640/0.3 => x = 8800 A initially having an amount of Rs. 8800.
