Reveal answer & explanation
Correct answer: A) Rs. 1,400
Explanation
To maximize the difference, one daughter must receive the absolute maximum while the others receive the absolute minimum. The two minimums are Rs. 200 each (total Rs. 400). The maximum one can receive is 2,000 - 400 = 1,600. The difference is 1,600 - 200 = Rs. 1,400.
