Rs 936 is divided among P, Q, and R in ratio 2: 3: 4 instead of 1/2: 1/3: 1/4 by mistakes. The gain of R in the distribution is ______.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. Rs 200.
Calculations:
Rs. 936 divided into 1/2 : 1/3 : 1/4 = P : Q : R = 6 : 4 : 3
Share of R = 3/13 × 936 = Rs. 216
Divided in the wrong ratio = P : Q : R = 2 : 3 : 4
Share of R = 4/9 × 936 = Rs. 416
The gain of R = 416 - 216 = Rs. 200
