    ratio 2:5:4:3 respectively. Later, 'Q' gave an amount equal to 80% of the average amount received by 'P' and 'S' to 'R'. Find the average amount with 'P' and 'R' now.

    B Rs.1581 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs.1385 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs.1450 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Initial amount with 'P' = 4200 ├Ч (2/14) = Rs. 600

    Initial amount with 'R' = 4200 ├Ч (4/14) = Rs. 1200

    Initial amount with 'S' = 4200 ├Ч (3/14) = Rs. 900

    Amount given by 'Q' to 'R' = {(600 + 900) ├╖ 2} ├Ч 0.80 = 750 ├Ч 0.80 = Rs. 600

    Final amount with 'R' now = 1200 + 600 = Rs. 1800

    Therefore, required average = (600 + 1800) ├╖ 2 = Rs. 1200
