Question

A sum of money is divided among p,q,r and s in the ratio of 4,5,7,9,thereby r received rs. 4860 more than that received by p what was the btotal amount divided among themselves

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

add the ratio terms 4, 5, 7, 9

Then the sum will be 25.

then divide the ratio term with the sum of the ratio terms and then do the same with other three ratios and multiply it with 4860 and u will find the answer.

4/25 × 4860 = first share

5/25 × 4860 = second share......

Do the rest number like this and u will find the answer

Answer 2

given the ratio of a sum divided between p, q, r and s, find the total sum

Explanation:

1. let the total sum be denoted 'T'. We have T divided between p, q, r and s in the ratio $4:5:7:9$  respectively. hence we have , $T=4x+5x+7x+9x$ $=25x$     ---(a)                
2. given that 'r' received $rs.4860$ more than 'p' , then we get,                                             $7x=4x+4860\\x=1620$             --- (b)
3. equating (a) and (b) we get,    $T=25(1620)$  
4. hence, the total sum amount divided between p, q, r, and s is of $Rs.40,500$
