C Correct answer
Explanation

Reenu's rate: 1/15 work per day. Combined rate (Reenu + Meenu): 1/10 work per day. So Meenu's rate: 1/10 - 1/15 = (3-2)/30 = 1/30 work per day. Ratio of rates: Reenu:Meenu = 1/15:1/30 = 2:1. Payment distribution: Rs 600 in 2:1 ratio = Rs 400 for Reenu, Rs 200 for Meenu.
