Question

a sum of money is divided among P,Q,R and S in the ratio of 5:9:11:13. If the share of R is Rs. 2856 more than that of P, then what is the total amount of money distributed among the four.

Answer 1

ratio of money among P,Q,R,AND S = 5:9:11:13

P share = 5x
Q share = 9x
R share =11x
 S share = 13x
R share - Pshare = 2856
11x - 5x = 2856
6x = 2856

x= 2856/6

x= 476

therefore
P share = 5x = 5*476 = 2380Rs
Q share =9x =9*476 = Rs4284
R share = 11x = 11*476 =Rs5236
S share = 13x = 13 *476 = Rs6188
