aparna, Sulkana, and pooja paid a total of Rs.90 for their dinner at a restaurant. If aparna paid 2/5 of the total amount, Sulkana paid Rs.34, and pooja paid the rest, then what fraction of the total amount did Tommy pay?
A) 2/9
B) 14/45
C) 1/3
D) 2/5
E) 7/15

I think it should be pooja and not tommy (who eat free dinner)
so by that way pooja paid 2/9 fraction of the bill.

whats the OA?
Thanks and regards,
