    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ Ratio of amount received by ‘X’, ‘Y’, and ‘Z’ respectively, originally = (1/3):(1/4):(1/8)× 24 = 8:6:3 So, the amount that should be received by ‘Y’ originally = (6/17)×1575=Rs.555 Amount received by ‘Y’ actually = (4/15)×1575=Rs.420 Desired difference = 555 – 420 = Rs. 135
