Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
Take Ganesh and Ashish
Let Ashish shoot x baskets
So Ganesh shot (x-8) baskets
Eqn: x + x - 8 = 40
2x - 8 = 40
so x = 48/2 = 24
So Ashish shot 24 baskets and Ganesh shot 16 baskets.
If Ashish shot 24 baskets then Dhanraj shot 19 baskets
Ramesh shot (37 -19) = 18 baskets
Jugraj shot 27 baskets
Based on our findings, B,C, D are false
So A is true
