2. Rs. 2542
3. Rs. 2562
4. Rs. 2500

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 2 : Rs. 2542

Given:

Kishore has Rs. 9834 

He gave Rs 3216 to Krishna and Rs. 1534 to Mahesh.

Calculation:

According to the question,

Amount of money with Kishore = Rs. 9834 

He gave Rs 3216 to Krishna and Rs. 1534 to Mahesh.

Then, the Remaining amount with Kishore = 9834 - (3216 + 1534)

⇒ 9834 - 4750 = 5084

Now, Divided the rest of the money among his two cousins equally,

⇒ 5084/2 = 2542.

∴ Each cousin got the amount of Rs. 2542.
