A) 90 B) 95
C) 85 D) 80
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 90

Let the least value of the prize = Rs. x

Then the next value of the prize is x+30 , x+60, x+90, ....x+240.

Given total amount of cash prizes = Rs.1890

--> x + (x+30) + (x+60) + (x+90) + ....+ (x+240) = 1890

--> 9x + (30 + 60 + 90 + 120 + 150 + 180 + 210 + 240) = 1890

--> 9x + 30(1 + 2 + 3 + 4....+ 8) = 1890

--> 9x + 30(36) = 1890

--> 9x = 810 --> x=90

Hence the least value of the prize x=90
