Divide 3000 among P Q R in the ratio 2:3:5​

Answer 1

Answer:

The answers that is

The value of p will be 600

The value of q will be 900

The value of r will be 1500

Answer 2

P gets 600

Q gets 900

R gets 1500

Let the common ratio be 'x'.

As the money is to be divided between P, Q and R in 2:3:5 ratio, so,

Total share = 2x + 3x + 5x = 10x.

P would get = 2x

So, P's share = (2x/10x) of the entire sum = (2/10) × 3000 = 600

P gets 600

Similarly, Q would get 3x

So, Q's share = (3x/10x) of the entire sum = (3/10) × 3000 = 900

Q gets 900

And, R would get 5x

So, R's share = (5x/10) of the entire sum = (5/10) × 3000 = 1500

R gets 1500
