Correct choice: A

Explanation:

Let, no. of rice bowl = x no. of dal bowl = y no. of meat bowl = z Then, x + y + z = 65 ....(1) Also given that, 2x = 3y = 4z substituting value of y & z in terms of x i.e. y = 2x/3 and z = x/2 in eq (1), We get x = 30. As 1 rice bowl is shared between 2 guests, Therefore, there are 60 guests.
