Correct Answer: Rs. 35


Solution : Given: Rs. 380 is to be divided among 5 men, 8 boys, and 4 women.
The ratio of the amount received by the three is 8 : 4 : 7.
The sum of the ratio = 8 + 4 + 7 = 19
Share of 4 women = $\frac{7}{19}×380$ = 140
Share of 1 woman = $\frac{140}{4}$ = Rs. 35
Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 35.
