C Correct answer
Explanation

Ratio A:B = 2:5. If 2 parts = 100, then 1 part = 50. B receives 5 parts = 5 * 50 = 250.

AI explanation

The ratio of the amounts received by A and B is 2 : 5, and A's share of 2 parts equals Rs. 100. Therefore, the value of one part is 100 / 2 = 50. B's share consists of 5 parts, so B receives 5 * 50 = Rs. 250.
