\nFrom the data given in question
\n$V = \\frac{3}{10} A$
\n$ V_m = \\frac{2}{3} V = \\frac{2}{3} \\times \\frac{3}{10} A $
\n$C = \\frac{5}{8} V_m$
\nVinay’s mother has 600 left after giving money to the grocer.
\n$\\frac{3}{8} V_m =600$
\n$\\frac{3}{8} \\times \\frac{2}{3} \\times \\frac{3}{10} A =600$
\n<\/span>$A = 8000$
\nOption B is the correct answer.<\/p>\n
\nN’s share = 1\/6 of remaining = 1\/6 of 5\/8 = 5\/48<\/p>\n
