    Solution

    ATQ, Let the incomes of 'P', 'Q', and 'R' be Rs. p, Rs. q, and Rs. r. According to the question, 0.4p : 0.3q : 0.35r = 5 : 3 : 7 Or, p : q : r = (5/0.4) : (3/0.3) : (7/0.35) = 12.5 : 10 : 20 Sum of the ratios = 12.5 + 10 + 20 = 42.5 Therefore, income of тАШPтАЩ = 24000 ├Ч (12.5/42.5) = Rs. 7059 Income of тАШQтАЩ = 24000 ├Ч (10/42.5) = Rs. 5647 Income of тАШRтАЩ = 24000 - (7059 + 5647) = Rs. 11294 Required sum = (0.6 ├Ч 7059) + (0.7 ├Ч 5647) + (0.65 ├Ч 11294) = 4235 + 3953 + 7341 = Rs.15529
