Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation:

First remove the amounts taken away from each share: 10 + 20 + 15 = 45, so the remaining total is 1105 − 45 = 1060.

  1. Sum of the ratio parts = 11 + 18 + 24 = 53.

  2. One part = 1060 ÷ 53 = 20, so Champa’s reduced share = 24 × 20 = 480.

  3. Add back the Rs. 15 that was removed from Champa: original share = 480 + 15 = 495.

Therefore Champa received Rs. 495.
