Quick Solution

This question is from the same logic puzzle as a previous one. To answer it, we must use the clues to create a full mapping of which girl has which amount of money.

1. Deducing the Money Distribution

We can solve for every girl's money amount by following the clues in a logical order:

The first few clues give us the amounts for four of the girls directly:
- A has Rs. 10
- B has Rs. 200
- C has Rs. 60
- F has Rs. 80
This leaves three girls (D, E, G) and three unassigned amounts (Rs. 20, Rs. 40, Rs. 120).
A clue states that G's amount is "neither Rs. 40 nor Rs. 120". Out of the remaining options, this means G must have Rs. 20.
Now, only two girls (D, E) and two amounts (Rs. 40, Rs. 120) are left.
Another clue refers to "The girl having Rs. 40". At this stage, that girl must be either D or E.
The final clue connects E to the girl with Rs. 20 (who we now know is G). This leaves D as the only remaining possibility for the girl with Rs. 40. Therefore, D must have Rs. 40.

2. The Final Money Arrangement

The complete distribution of money is as follows:

Girl	Money
A	10
B	200
C	60
D	40
E	120
F	80
G	20

Final Answer: The girl who has Rs. 40 with her is D.
