    A Rs.14,400 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs.15,400 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs.14,600 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs.13,400 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E none of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ Let, the amount received by 'Bijay' be Rs. '72b' So, the amount received by 'Ajay' = (7/8) × 72b = Rs.'63b' Amount received by 'Chetna' = (8/9) × 72b = Rs. '64b' ATQ, 63b + 72b + 64b = 39800 Or, 199b = 39800 So, b = (39800/199) = 200 So, the amount received by 'Bijay' = '72b' = 72 × 200 = Rs.14,400
