Correct Answer: INR 500
Solution :
A + B total money per week = INR 700
A's money = 250% of B's Money
Let the sum paid to B be 2x.
Sum paid of A = $2\text{x} \times (\frac{250}{100})$ = 5x
2x + 5x = 700
⇒ 7x = 700
⇒ x = 100
Sum paid to A = 5 × 100 = 500
$\therefore$ Sum paid to A is INR 500.
Hence, the correct answer is INR 500.
