Answer 2

Answer:

5₹

Explanation:

Total bill paid by Amit, Raju and Ram = ( 50 + 55 +75 ) =

₹ 180

Let amount paid by Amit, Raju and Ram be ₹ 3x, 4x and 5x respectively.

Therefore, (3x + 4x + 5x ) = 180

12x = 180

x = 15

Therefore, amount paid by,

Amit = ₹ 45

Raju = ₹ 60

Ram = ₹ 75

But actually as given in the question,

Amit pays ₹ 50, Raju pays ₹ 55 and Ram pays ₹ 80.

Hence, Amit pays ₹ 5 less than the actual amount to be paid.

Hence he needs to pay ₹ 5 to Raju settle the amount
