Rs 720 is to be divided among P, Q and R so that P gets
3/5 of Q’s share and R gets 1/3 of P’s share. Share of R is:Solution
Let the Q’s share be Rs x P’s share = 3x/5 R’s share = 1/3×3/5 x = 1/5 x ⇒x + 3x/5 + 1/5 x = Rs 720 ⇒ (5x +3x+1x )/5 = 720 x = (720 × 5)/9 = 400 ∴ P’s share = Rs 240 ∴ Q’s share = Rs 400 ∴ R’s share = Rs 80
