  • Options
  • A. ? 5040
  • B. ? 10070
  • C. ? 10080
  • D. ? 5000

  • Correct Answer
  • ? 10080 

    Explanation

    Let the total amount = x
    According to the question.
    14 girls are getting x amount.
    1 girl will get x/14 amount.
    Similarly if
    18 girls are getting x amount.
    1 girl will get x/18 amount.
    according to question,
    x/14 - x/18 = 160
    ? (9x - 7x)/126 = 160
    ? 2x/126 = 160
    ? x/126 = 80
    ? x = 126 x 80 = ? 10080
