Question

7.An amount of money is to be divided among P, Q and R and in the ratio of 5:11:23 respectively. If the difference between the total share of P and Q together and R’s share is Rs. 2,800 what is the difference between Q and R’s share? *

Answer 1

Answer:

difference between P and Q together and R is 2800

So

R- P+Q = 2800

substitute the values as the ratios

23-5+11= 2800

16 parts= 2800

1 part = 2800/16=175

Q's share= 175 x 11 = 1925

R's share= 175 x 23 = 4025

difference between Q and R = 4025-1925

difference= 2100
