  • Question
  • There are four persons A, B, C and D. The total amount of money with A and B together is equal to the total amount of money with C and D together but the total amount of money with B and D together is more than the amount of money with A and C together. The amount of money with A is more than that with B. Who has the least amount of money?


  • Options
  • A. B
  • B. D
  • C. E
  • D. Cannot be determined

  • Correct Answer


  • Explanation

    According to the question,
    A + B = C + D; B + D > A + C; A > B
    Now, B + D > A + C and A > B
    ? B + D > A + C > B + C ? B + D > B + C ? D > C
    Now, B + D > A + C ? B + D = A + C + K
    Also, A + B = C + D ? B - D = C - A
    ? 2B = 2C + K ? B > C ? A > B > C
    D > C
    Clearly, each one of A, D and b has more amount than C. Hence, C has the least amount.
