A certain amount of money was divided among Pinu, Meena, Rinu and Seema. Pinu received 20% of the total amount and Meena received 40% of the remaining amount. If Seema received 20% less than Pinu, the ratio of the amounts received by Pinu and Rinu is

8 : 5

1 : 2

5 : 8

2 : 1

✅ Correct Option: 3

Let the total amount $= 100$ .

Pinu received $20\%$ of the total:

$\text{Pinu} = 20\% \text{ of } 100 = 20$

Meena received $40\%$ of the remaining amount (not the total):

$\text{Remaining after Pinu} = 100 - 20 = 80$

$\text{Meena} = 40\% \text{ of } 80 = 32$

Seema received $20\%$ less than Pinu:

$\text{Seema} = 20 - (20\% \text{ of } 20)$

$= 20 - 4$

$= 16$

Rinu gets whatever is left:

$\text{Rinu} = 100 - 20 - 32 - 16 = 32$

$\text{Pinu : Rinu} = 20 : 32$

$= 5 : 8$
