A sum of money is to be distributed among 3 friends P, Q and R in the proportion of 5 : 3 : 4 . If P gets₹1,500 more than R, what is Q's share?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. ₹4,500.
Ratio of the share of P, Q, and R = 5 : 3 : 4
Let the P, Q, and R share be 5x, 3x, and 4x.
So, 5x - 4x = 1500
⇒ x = 1500
⇒ 3x = 3 × 1500 = 4500
Therefore, Q's share is ₹4,500.
