    Question

    A plot has to be divided among P, Q and R in the ratio

    3:5:8 respectively. If the area of plot received by R is 4500m² more than the area of plot received by Q, then find the total area of plot received by P and Q.  
    A 16800m² Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 12000m² Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 17000m² Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 11200m² Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 9800m² Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the area of plot received by P, Q and R be 3x, 5x and 8x respectively. According to the question,   => 5x + 4500 = 8x => 3x = 4500 => x = 4500/3 = 1500 Area of plot received by P and Q together, = 3x + 5x = 8x = 8 x 1500 = 12000m²
