If 2P = 3Q = 5R and P + Q + R = 6200, then the difference between P and R is:
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The Correct answer is option 1 i.e. 1800
Given that
If 2P = 3Q = 5R and P + Q + R = 6200
The ratio of P, Q, R is 15 : 10 : 6
Let the value of P, Q, and R is 15x, 10x, and 6x respectively
According to the question
P + Q + R = 6200
15x + 10x+ 6x = 6200
31x = 6200
x = 6200/31 = 200
Hence, the difference between P and R = 15x - 6x = 9x = 9 × 200 = 1800
