A and B have together three times what B and C have, while A, B, C together have thirty rupees more than that of A. If B has 5 times that of C, then A has
A+B+C = A+30 $$\Rightarrow$$ B+C = 30 -------(1)
B has 5 times more than CÂ $$\Rightarrow$$ B = 5C -------(2)
on solving (1)&(2) B = 25, C = 5.
and given that A and B have together three times what B and C have
$$\Rightarrow$$ A+B = 3(B+C)
$$\Rightarrow$$ A+25 = 3(30)
$$\Rightarrow$$ A+25 = 90
$$\Rightarrow$$ A = 65.Â
so the answer is option B.
