    B) Rs. 65                

    C) Rs. 70                

    D) Rs. 79                

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    We are given that, Amount of money Meena spent \[=\frac{1}{5}\] of amount of money Tia spent Also, Amount of money Meena and Tia spent altogether =Rs. 216 \[\Rightarrow \]\[\frac{1}{5}\] of amount of money Tia spent + Amount of money Tia spent =Rs. 216 \[\Rightarrow \]\[\left( \frac{1}{5}+1 \right)\] of amount of money Tia spent =Rs. 216 \[\Rightarrow \] \[\frac{6}{5}\times \]amount of money Tia spent =Rs. 216 \[\Rightarrow \]Amount of money Tia spent   =Rs. \[\left( 216\times \frac{5}{6} \right)\]=Rs. 180 So, amount of money Meena spent = Rs. \[\left( \frac{1}{5}\times 180 \right)\]=Rs. 36 Now, amount of money Megha and Meena; spent altogether = Rs. 95 \[\Rightarrow \] Amount of money Megha spent =Rs. \[(95-36)=\]Rs. 59
