Solution
Let the total amount with Meera be Rs y
After giving 15% to Anish, 32% to Rubina and 25% to Sana, Meera is left with only 28% of the amount with her.
It is given that 3/4th of this amount is equal to 8400
So,
$\frac{3}{4}\times\frac{28}{100}\times{y} = 8400$
y = Rs 40,000
As the total amount with Meera is Rs 40,000 . 15% of y which is given to Anish will amount to $\frac{15}{100}\times{40000} = 6000$
Hence option A is correct
