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
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
