Correct Answer - Option 1 : Rs. 430
Given:
Total money = Rs. 1690
Each person received Rs. 30 less, then
The ratio of their shares = 2 ∶ 5 ∶ 1
Calculation:
Let the ratio of their shares be 2x, 5x and x respectively
According to the question,
If each of them received Rs. 30 less, then
Total money = 1690 - (3 × 30)
⇒ Rs. 1,600
2x + 5x + x = 1600
⇒ 8x = 1600
⇒ x = 200
Now, money received by Ram = 2x + 30
⇒ 2 × 200 + 30
⇒ Rs. 430
∴ The money received by Ram is Rs. 430.
