      Solution

      ATQ,

      Let the initial incomes of 'P' and 'Q' be Rs. '7x' and Rs. '12x', respectively. So, new income of 'P' = 7x ร— 1.3 = Rs. '9.1x' And new income of 'Q' = Rs. '12x - 2000' And income of 'R' = (12x - 2000) ร— (10/9) ATQ; (12x - 2000) ร— (10/9) = 5000 + 7x Or, 120x - 20000 = 45000 + 63x Or, 57000 = 57x So, x = 1000 So, new income of 'P' = 9.1 ร— 1000 = Rs. 9,100
