Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 2,800

Given:

Total money = Rs. 8,200

A's share = Rs. 500 more than B

C's share = Rs. 300 more than A

Calculations:

Let share of A, B and C are A, B and C respectively.

A = 500 + B

⇒ B = A - 500

C = 300 + A

⇒ C = 300 + A

A + B + C = 8,200

⇒ A + A - 500 + 300 + A = 8,200

⇒ 3A - 200 = 8,200

⇒ 3A = 8,400

⇒ A = 2,800

∴ A's share was Rs. 2,800
