What was the amount spent by Helen?
Explanation:
The amounts are Rs. 2,234, Rs. 1,193, Rs. 1,340 and Rs. 2,517. The fifth amount is not given.
∵ One woman’s amount = Chellamma’s amount + Rs. 1,378
∵ All the women spent more than Rs. 1,000.
∴ Chellamma’s amount
= Rs. 2,517 – Rs. 1,378
= Rs. 1,139
∴ The biggest amount of Rs. 2,517 is spent by Shahnaz.
∵ It is given that Helen spent more than Dhenuka and Dhenuka did not spend Rs. 1,340.
∴ Dhenuka spent Rs. 1,193.
We also know that the women who spent Rs. 2,234 arrived before the lady who spent 1193.
∴ Archana spent Rs. 2,234 and Helen spent Rs. 1,340.
The amount spent by Helen was Rs. 1,340.
Hence, option (b).
