A sum of money is to be distributed among P, Q, and R in the ratio of 3:5:7. If Q receives ₹1200, what is the total sum of money?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Given:
P : Q : R = 3 : 5 : 7
Amount to Q = ₹1200
Q = 5 parts = ₹1200
1 part = 1200 / 5 = 240
Total parts = 3 + 5 + 7 = 15
Total amount = 15 × 240 = ₹3600
