    D Rs.335 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Let the amounts received by D, E, and F be Rs. 5x, Rs. 4x, and Rs. 6x respectively.
    Amount received by D and E = 2100 × (5 + 4) ÷ (5 + 4 + 6) = 2100 × 9 ÷ 15 = Rs. 1260
    Amount received by E and F = 2100 × (4 + 6) ÷ 15 = 2100 × 10 ÷ 15 = Rs. 1400
    Required difference = 1400 - 1260 = Rs. 140
