पर्याय

• Rs.33,000, Rs.30,000, Rs.27,000

• Rs.39,000, Rs.30,000, Rs.9,000

• Rs.33,000, Rs.39,000, Rs.15,000

• Rs.11,000, Rs.13,000, Rs.5,000

Answer 1

Rs.33,000, Rs.39,000, Rs.15,000

Explanation:

The correct answer is  - Rs.33,000, Rs. 39,000, Rs.15,000, which adds up to a total of Rs. 87,000. The amount spent on furniture and carpeting when subtracted from the total gift money will give

[123000 – (24000 + 12000)] = Rs.87,000.

Also Rs.33,000, Rs.39,000 and Rs.15,000 are in the ratio 11: 13: 5, whereas none of the other options add up to the same total, nor do they bear the same ratio.
