    Correct Option - 2


    Detailed Solution:

    U – Umang

    V – Viren

    X – Xavier

    F – Falak

    G – Eagan

    We have

    U + V + X + F + G = 100

    And each one of U, V, W, X, F, G? 10

    U = V + X and 3Y = 4Z

    Now,  U, V, X, F, G? 10

    Also, U = V + X

    X = Cube + 3

    V, U = Square

    and F : G = 4 : 3

    This is possible only when

    U = 36, V = 25, X = 11, G = 12, F = 16

36 * 150 + 14 * 100 = 6800

136

Q

34 * 150 + 21 * 100 = 7200

23 * 150 + 36 * 100 = 6850

30 * 150 + 30 * 100 = 6000

Now we can see that the largest difference

= Maximum – Minimum = Rs. 7500 – Rs. 6800

= Rs. 700
