Options:

₹2,440

₹2,420

₹2,240

Correct Answer:

₹2,240

Explanation:

Amount spent for distributing sweets to each student =  \(\frac{3}{10}\) × 80

= 24

Amount spent for distributing sweets to each resource person =\(\frac{2}{5}\) × 80

Total amount spent =  80 × 24 + 10 × 32 = 1920 + 320 = Rs.2240
