Question 6

An amount of money is to be distributed among P, Q and R in the ratio of 5:9:17 respectively. If the total of the shares of P and Q is Rs.7,000. What is R’s share in it

Solution

Let the amount distributed among P, Q and R be 5x, 9x and 17x respectively

Total shares of P and Q is 7,000 (given) i.e

$$\Rightarrow$$ 5x + 9x = 7,000

$$\Rightarrow$$ 14x = 7,000 (or) x = 500

$$\therefore$$ R's share = 17(500) = 8,500

Hence, option C is the correct answer.
