Given information:
- Lara draws an accommodation bill on Sachin.
- The amount of the bill is Rs 6000.
- Discounting charges are Rs 120.
- The proceeds are to be borne between Sachin and Lara in the ratio of 3:1.
To find:
- The discount borne by Sachin.
1. Calculate the total amount of discount: Rs 6000 - Rs 120 = Rs 5880.
2. Determine the ratio in which the proceeds are to be divided: 3:1.
3. Divide Rs 5880 in the ratio 3:1:
- Sachin's share = (3/4) * Rs 5880 = Rs 4410.
- Lara's share = (1/4) * Rs 5880 = Rs 1470.
4. The discount borne by Sachin is equal to Sachin's share: Rs 4410.
Answer:
The discount borne by Sachin is Rs 4410. (Option A)

Amount are divide in 3:1 ratio and when the discount ratio is not given then we divide the discount is also in amount divide ratio .
in this question I.e. 3:1
sachin bored in discount = 120×3/4= 90

Discounting Charges:
- The discounting charges are given as Rs 120.
Bill Amount and Ratio:
- The amount of the bill is given as Rs 6000.
- The proceeds of the bill are to be borne between Sachin and Lara in the ratio of 3:1.
Calculating the Discount Borne by Sachin:
- To calculate the discount borne by Sachin, we need to determine Sachin's share of the bill proceeds.
- The ratio of Sachin's share to Lara's share is 3:1.
- Let's assume Sachin's share as 3x and Lara's share as x.
- The total shares would be 3x + x = 4x.
- The total bill amount is Rs 6000, so we can set up the equation: 4x = 6000.
- Solving for x, we get x = 6000/4 = 1500.
- Therefore, Sachin's share is 3x = 3 * 1500 = Rs 4500.
- The discounting charges of Rs 120 need to be shared in the same ratio.
- The total ratio is 4 (3 parts for Sachin and 1 part for Lara).
- To find Sachin's share of the discount, we can calculate (3/4) * 120 = 90.
Therefore, the discount borne by Sachin is Rs 90.
