Doubt in comparisons : Magoosh

Hi experts,

I wanted to clarify a very basic doubt I had on comparison. From what I understand, while comparing 2 entities, both entities should be parallel and the comparison should be across 2 logical entities. But I'm not able to differentiate between the below 3 sentences. Which would be correct and why? Please also explain why the wrong ones are wrong?

1. Ramesh has more money than Suresh
2. Ramesh has more money than Suresh does
2. Ramesh has more money than Suresh has

Thanks,
Akshay

I would like to read others' take on this question. In my opinion, sentence 2 is the best version.

(1) Ramesh has more money than Suresh. Almost every reader knows its intended meaning, but we can argue for its ambiguity. It might mean two things:
a. Remesh has more money. Suresh has less money in comparison.
b. Remesh has more money. But he has less Suresh. (Maybe Suresh is a unit / name for some precious stone that can be readily liquidated into money.)

(2) Ramesh has more money than Suresh does. This version is super clear that we are comparing money possessed by Ramesh vs. that by Suresh.

(3) Ramesh has more money than Suresh has. To me, it is just as clear as (2), but "does" in (2) sounds better than "has" in (3).

Look forward to hearing other's opinions!

Nice...
