(d)` 1150
Answer
Answer (as printed): C
Explanation
Second son's share $=₹\left(10800\times\frac{4}{12}\right)=₹3600$. Money distributed between the two daughters $=₹[3600-(1000+600)]=₹2000$. First daughter's share $=₹\left(2000\times\frac{11}{20}\right)=₹1100$. Second daughter's share $=₹\left(2000\times\frac{9}{20}\right)=₹900$.
