Question

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

    3:4:7 respectively. If the area of plot received by R is 4800m² 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, 4x and 7x respectively. According to the question,   => 4x + 4800 = 7x => 3x = 4800 => x = 4800/3 = 1600 Area of plot received by P and Q together, = 3x + 4x = 7x = 7 x 1600 = 11200m²
