C. An amount of ` 600 crores is spent by the government in three schemes. Scheme A is
for saving girl child from the cruel parents who don’t want girl child and get the abortion
before her birth.
Scheme B is for saving of newlywed girls from death due to dowry. Scheme C is planning
for good health for senior citizen. Now twice the amount spent on Scheme C together
with amount spent on Scheme A is ` 700 crores. And three times the amount spent on
Scheme A together with amount spent on Scheme B and Scheme C is ` 1200 crores.
