1. Rs. 113
2. Rs. 123
3. Rs. 127
4. Rs. 117

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 4 : Rs. 117

Given:

Malika + Rani = 227

Rani + Tamali = 273

Tamali + Malika = 280

Calculation:

2(Malika + Rani + Tamali) = 227 + 273 + 280

⇒ 2(Malika + Rani + Tamali) = 780

⇒ Malika + Rani + Tamali = 390

Rani + Tamali = 273

Malika + Rani + Tamali - (Rani + Tamali) = 390 - 273

⇒ 117

∴ Answer is 117
