Question

An amount of money is to be divided between p, q and r in the ratio of 3:7:12. if the difference between the shares of p and q is rs.2400, what will be the difference between q and r's share?

Answer 1

let x be the amount of money
Ratio's are 3x:7x:12x
Sum of ratio's =22x
7x-3x=2400
4x=2400
x=600
q and R's share:
12x-7x
5x/5*600=3000

Answer 2

The "share difference between" Q and R is Rs 3000

Given:

The ratio of “P”,”Q” and “R” is 3:7:12

Difference between P and Q share is Rs 2400

To find:

Find difference between Q and R share.

Solution:

Let x be the amount of money share.

Ratios are 3x:7x:12x

The sum of ratios = 22x

$7x - 3x = 2400$

$4x = 2400$

$x = 600$

The share difference between Q and R = 12x - 7x = 5x

$=5 \times 600$

The share difference between "Q and R" = Rs 3000
