Answer:

16000

Step-by-step explanation:

An amount of money is to be divided among p, q and r in the ratio of 3 : 5 : 7 respectively. if the amount received by r is rs. 4,000/- more than the amount received by q

p : q : r ::: 3 : 5 : 7

Let say p get  3x

then q get  5x

& r  get = 7x

amount received by r is rs. 4,000/- more than the amount received by q

=> 7x - 5x  = 4000

=> 2x = 4000

=> x = 2000

Amount received by p  = 3x = 6000

Amount received by q  = 5x = 10000

Amount received by r  =  7x = 14000

Total amount received by p & q together = 6000 + 10000 = 16000
