Rs300

Rs200

Rs500

Rs450

- Let B's payment be Rs x.

- A is paid 250% of B's payment, which means A gets 2.5 times Rs x.

- Therefore, A's payment = Rs 2.5x.

- Together, A and B earn Rs 700: \(x + 2.5x = 700\).

- This simplifies to \(3.5x = 700\).

- Solving for x, we get \(x = 200\).

- B is paid Rs 200, and A is paid: \(2.5 \times 200 = 500\).

Option:3 Rs500 is the correct answer.
