Question

A plot has to be divided among P, Q and R in the ratio 4:6:9 respectively. If the area of plot received by R is 5100m² 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 4x, 6x and 9x respectively. According to the question,   => 6x + 5100 = 9x => 3x = 5100 => x = 5100/3 = 1700 Area of plot received by P and Q together, = 4x + 6x = 10x = 10 x 1700 = 17000m²
