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
