      Question

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

      2:5:8 respectively. If the area of plot received by R is 4200m² 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 2x, 5x and 8x respectively. According to the question,   => 5x + 4200 = 8x => 3x = 4200 => x = 4200/3 = 1400 Area of plot received by P and Q together, = 2x + 5x = 7x = 7 x 1400 = 9800m²
