Correct Answer: Rs. 440
Solution :
Given:
Sonu had = Rs. 500
Rahul had = Rs. 240
Let the money spent by Rahul on shopping be x.
So, Sonu spent the money on shopping is 2x.
According to the question,
(500 – 2x) = 3(240 – x)
(500 – 2x) = (720 – 3x)
(3x – 2x) = (720 – 500)
x = 220
The money spent by Sonu on shopping is 2x, 2 × 220 = Rs. 440. Hence, the second option is correct.
