Question

. 27336 is divided among P, Q and R
such that P gets 2/5 of what Q gets
and R gets 3/4 of what P gets. Find
the share of R.

Answer 1

let's assume Q got X out of 27336 then ;

Share of Q = X

share of P = 2X/5

Share of R = (3/4)(2X/5) = 6X/20

Share of R + P + Q = 27336

=> (X) + (2X/5) + (6X/20) = 27336

=> (20X + 8X + 6X )/20 = 27336

=> 34X = 27336(20)

=> X = 546720/34

=> X = 16080

Therefore , share of R = 6X/20

Share of R = (6/20)(16080)

= 4824

I hope I am right. Do let me know if I am wrong .
