Answer the question on the basis of the information given below:

A certain perfume is available at a duty-free shop at the Bangkok international airport. It is priced in the Thai currency Baht but other currencies are also acceptable. In particular, the shop accepts Euro and US Dollar at the following rates of exchange: US $\$1=41$ Bahts and $1$ Euro$=46$ Bahts.

The perfume is priced at $520$ Bahts per bottle. After $1$ bottle is purchased, subsequent bottles are available at a discount of $30\%.$ Three friend S, R and M together purchase three bottles of the perfume, agreeing to share the cost equally. R pays $2$ Euros. M pays $4$ Euros and $27$ Thai Bahts and S pays the remaining amount in US Dollars.

How much does R owe to S in That Bahts?

  1. $428$
  2. $416$
  3. $334$
  4. $324$

1st bottle will cost for 520 and subsequent 2 with 30% discount will cost for 728

Hence total cost for 3 bottles will be 520+728=1248 Bahts which would be divided into 3.

So everyone have to pay 416 Bahts and amount paid by R is 2 Euros i.e. 92 bahts

Hence remaining amount is 416-92=324 Bahts and which was paid by S

Therefore, R owe 324 Bahts to S i.e. OPTION D
