1. INR 30500
2. INR 30000
3. INR 35000
4. INR 50000

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 3 : INR 35000

Given:

INR 50000 is divided among 2 sisters in the ratio 7 : 3.

Calculation:

Let the amount received by two sisters be A and B, where A = 7x and B = 3x

⇒ 7x + 3x = 10x = INR 50000

⇒ x = INR 5000

∴ Amount received by first sister = 7x = 7 × INR 5000 = INR 35000
