Let the salaries of Raj, Rahul and Raman be 3a, 5a and 7a respectively

Let the original sum of Raj’s and Rahul’s salary be b

⇒ b(1 – 25/100) = 2000

⇒ 0.75b= 2000

⇒ b = Rs. 2666.6

Also, 3a + 5a = 2666.6

⇒ 8a = 2666.6

⇒ a = 333.3

Hence, the amount of money that Raman will get = 7a = 7 × 333.3

⇒ required amount = Rs. 2333.1

∴ the correct option is 3
