    A 2400 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 3000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 2700 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 2500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 2100 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let share of ‘B’ = Rs. 80x Share of ‘A’ = 80x + {25% of 80x} = Rs. 100x Share of ‘C’ = (8/5) × 100x = Rs. 160x Total amount with ‘A’, ‘B’ and ‘C’, together = 3400 × 3 = Rs. 10200 So, 100x + 80x + 160x = 10200 Or, 340x = 10200 Or, x = 30 So, share of ‘B’ = 80x = 80 × 30 = Rs. 2400
