2. ₹ 640
3. ₹ 240
4. ₹ 560

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 2 : ₹ 640

Given :- 

An amount of Rs. 800 is distributed between Ravi, Mohan and Govind in the proportions 2 : 5 : 3,

Concept :- 

Ratio represent amount must be divided in that value.

Calculation :-

Let ratio be in x so,

⇒ Ravi share's = 2x

⇒ Mohan share's = 5x 

⇒ Govind share's = 3x

Now,

⇒ Total amount = 2x + 5x + 3x

⇒ 800 = 10x 

⇒ x = (800/10)

⇒ x = 80 

Now, Put the value of x 

⇒ Ravi share's = 2 × 80 = Rs. 160

⇒ Mohan's share's = 5 × 80 = Rs. 400

⇒ Govind share's = 3 × 80 = Rs. 240

⇒ Shares of Mohan and Govind sum = 400 + 240 = Rs. 640 

∴ Shares of Mohan and Govind sum is Rs. 640
