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
