1st bottle will cost for 520 and subsequent 2 with 30% discount will cost for 728

Hence total cost for 3 bottles will be 520+728=1248 Bahts which would be divided into 3.

So everyone have to pay 416 Bahts and amount paid by R is 2 Euros i.e. 92 bahts

Hence remaining amount is 416-92=324 Bahts and which was paid by S

Therefore, R owe 324 Bahts to S i.e. OPTION D
