    A 121 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 130 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 146 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 126 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the amount received by B be Rs.P. Therefore, amount received by A = 1.40 x P = Rs.1.4P According to the question, => (P + 1.4P) = 4200 x 0.90 => 2.4P = 3780 => P = 1575 Share of A = 3780 – 1575 = Rs.2205 So, 3X = 2205 => X = 735 Required value = [(X/7) + 21] = 105 + 21 = 126
