Question

50. An amount is divided among P, Q and R in the
ratio 5:2:9. If Qgot 2500, then what will be the
difference in the amounts of P and R?
(a) 5000
(b) 6000
(c) 4000
(d) 3000​

Answer 1

Answer:

A 5000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 5x, 2x and 9x be the amount P,Q and R have respectively.

therefore according to the question

P = 5x

Q= 2x

R = 9x

since given that Q = 2x have 2500

therefore

Q = 2x = 2500

x = 1250

Difference between the amount of P and R = 9x - 5x

= 9× 1250 - 5 × 1250

= 11250 - 6250

= 5000

Answer 2

Answer:

(a)5000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be 2x, 5x and 9x.

Now,

Q got= 2500(2x)

=> x= 2500/2= 1250

So, P will get= 5x

(5×1250)=6250

Now,

R will get= 9x

(9×1250)= 11,250

Now difference between P and R=11,250-6250

=5000(Answer)
