Correct Answer: Rs. 140


Solution : Given: A sum of Rs. 770 has been divided among A, B and C so that A receives $\frac{2}{9}$th of what B and C together receive.
The ratio of A's share to the combined shares of B and C is 2 : 9.
So, A's share  = $\frac{2}{2+9}\times 770 = 140$
Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 140.
