  • A₹4.75
  • B₹3.25
  • C₹5.25
  • D₹4.25

Step-by-Step Solution

Together she has 200.00 + 35.50 = ₹235.50. She still needs 239.75 − 235.50 = ₹4.25. Dropping the 50 paise from her brother’s ₹35.50 leaves the wrong ₹4.75.
Answer: D) ₹4.25

Key idea: Place value to the right of the decimal point

To the LEFT of the decimal point: ones, tens, hundreds — each place is **10 times** bigger than the one to its right. To the RIGHT of the decimal point, the same rule continues — each place is **10 times smaller** than the one to its left. So:

- 1st place after the point: tenths (1/10)
- 2nd place: hundredths (1/100)
- 3rd place: thousandths (1/1000)
