    B Rs 1350 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs 1500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs 1650 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Rs 1800 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the pocket money of ‘P’ and ‘Q’ be Rs. 5x and Rs. 2x respectively
    (0.4 × 5x) – (0.75 × 2x) = 150
    2x – 1.5x = 150 → 0.5x = 150 → x = 300
    Therefore, pocket money of ‘P’ = 5x = Rs. 1500
