C Correct answer
Explanation

Let remaining amounts be 3x, 4x, 5x. Total = 3x+10 + 4x+20 + 5x+30 = 4860. 12x + 60 = 4860. 12x = 4800. x = 400. Ravindra's share = 5x + 30 = 5(400) + 30 = 2030.

AI explanation

Let the reduced amounts for Rohit, Raina and Ravindra be 3x, 4x and 5x. The total reduced amount is 4860 - (10 + 20 + 30) = 4800, so 12x = 4800, giving x = 400. Ravindra's reduced amount is 5 * 400 = Rs. 2000. Adding back the initial Rs. 30 deduction, Ravindra's initial share was Rs. 2030.
