Correct Answer: Rs. 180


Solution : The average money of three persons = Rs. 110
The sum of money of three persons = 110 × 3 = Rs. 330
Let the share of Pankaj be Rs. $2x$.
Share of Sohan $=2x×\frac{150}{100} = 2x×\frac{3}{2} = 3x$
Share of Mukesh $=3x×2 = 6x$
According to the question,
$2x+3x+6x = 330$
⇒ $11x = 330$
⇒ $x = 30$
The share of Mukesh = 6 × 30 = Rs. 180
Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 180.
