Somebody can correct the question on the Daily Math question? The Harry number is still 409?

100:60:40 = 5:3:2
Total = 120 therefore Tom = 5*12 = 60 and Harry = 12*2 = 24
Diff = 36

Ratio of amt paid will be 5:3:20 (100:60:400(approx))
120*((20/28)-(5/28)) = 120*15/28 = 64.something [spoiler](E)[/spoiler]

harsh.champ wrote:Tom, Dick and Harry went for lunch to a restaurant. Tom had $100 with him, Dick had $60 and Harry had $40. They got a bill for $104 and decided to give a tip of $16. They further decided to share the total expenses in the ratio of the amounts of money each carried. The amount of money which Tom paid more than what Harry paid is

A. 120
B. 200
C. 60
D. 24
E. 36

The OA is E.
(100-40)/(100+60+40)*(104+16) = 60/200*120 = 36

Choose E

The Question is not right, Hurry had 40 $ and with this assumption E is correct.
