Question

divided rs 2575 between three people P,Q and R such that P gets 3/5 of what Q gets and the ratio of the share of Q and R is 6:11.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio=6:11

let the common ratio be x

money got by,Q=6x

R=11x

P=(3/5)×6x.

A.T.P.

6x + 11x + (3/5)×6x = 2575

17x + (18/5)x = 2575

(85x+18x)/5 = 2575

103x = 2575×5

x=(2575×5)/103

x=125

Hence, Q gets 6×125 = 750

R gets 11×125= 1375

P gets (18/5)×125 = 18×25 = 450

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of Q:R = 6:11

Ratio of P = 3/5 of Q

= 3/5 ×6

= 18/5

now., P:Q:R= 6:11:18/5

= 30:55:18( taking 5 as LCM)

sum of ratio= 30+55+18

= 103

total money to be divided= 2575rs

Share of P = 30/103×2575= 750rs

share of Q = 55/103×2575 = 1375 rs

share of R = 18/103×2575= 450rs.
