Options

B. Rs 3.0 lac
C. Rs 6 lac
D. None of these

Answer

A

Explanation

According to the given information:
Distribution of the total amount among Gopal and Ram in the ratio `rArr 2:3`
So, Gopal paid = 40% Ram paid = 60%
Let total cost be Rs. X
According to the question.
`(2)/(5) x + 200000=(3x)/(5)" or "(x)/(5)=200000" or "x=200000xx5`
or, x= Rs 10,00,000
So, total amount put in by Gopal and Ram together
= Rs =10,00,000 + Rs 2,00000= Rs 12,00,000
Given : `("Coconut")/("Lemon") = (5)/(1)`
Total number of lemon trees = 100.
So, Total number of coconut trees `=5xx100 =500`
Total revenue generated `= Rs (25)/(100) xx Rs 12` lacs
= Rs 3 lacs.
So, Revenue from coconut trees `=Rs (3)/(5) xx3` lacs.
Revenue from lemon trees `= Rs (2)/(5) xx3` lacs.
By analysing the above information, it is clear that Amount received by Gopal in 1997
`=("Total revenue generated")/(2) =(3 lacs)/(2) =1.5` lacs.
