Correct Answer: 12900 TK
Explanation:
Let, the number of people be = x
The Tk of 30% people = $x\frac{30}{100}\cdot 40$= 12x Tk
The taka of 45% people =$x\frac{45}{100}\cdot 20$= 9x Tk
The taka of 25% people = $x\frac{25}{100}\cdot 2$= $\frac{x}{2}$
According to the question,
$\frac{x}{2}$ = 300
x = 600
Total Taka received by the group= 12x + 9x +$\frac{x}{2}$
=12 x 600+9 x 600+$\frac{600}{2}$
= 7200 + 5400 + 300 = 12900 Tk.
