[This Question was asked as TITA]

• A. 800
• B. 650
• C. 970
• D. 680

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

800

Answer 2

The given ratios indicate that Amal to Sunil is 3:2 and Sunil to Mita is 4:5.
To determine the ratio of shares for all three individuals, let's multiply the ratios:

For Amal, Sunil, and Mita: $(3 \times 4) : (2 \times 4) : (2 \times 5) = 12 : 8 : 10$

Thus, the ratio of shares of Anil, Sunil, and Mita is indeed $6: 4: 5$
∴ Sunil's share $= 400×\frac 42 = 800$

So, the correct option is (A): $800$
