    C Rs.17,065 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs.10,500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E none of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Let, the share of 'Bheem' be Rs. '24a'. So, the share of 'Ashish' = (5/8) ├Ч 24a = Rs. '15a' Share of 'Chinu' = (4/3) ├Ч 24a = Rs. '32a' ATQ, 15a + 24a + 32a = 71000 Or, 71a = 71000 So, a = (71000/71) = 1000 Therefore, required difference = 32a - 15a = 17a = Rs.17,000
