A sum of money is to be distributed among P, Q, R, and S in the proportion 5:2:4:3. If R gets ₹1000 more than S, what is the total amount of money?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Given:
Ratio = 5 : 2 : 4 : 3
R has ₹1000 more than S.
According to the formula:
Difference = (4 − 3)x
(4 − 3)x = 1000
x = 1000
Total Amount = (5 + 2 + 4 + 3)x
= 14x
= 14 × 1000
= ₹14,000
