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

    3:4:9 respectively. If the area of plot received by R is 5500m² more than the area of plot received by Q, then find the total area of plot received by P and Q.
    A 7700m² Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 15200m² Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 13000m² 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 9x respectively. According to the question, => 4x + 5500 = 9x => 5x = 5500 => x = 5500/5 = 1100 Area of plot received by P and Q together, = 3x + 4x = 7x = 7 x 1100 = 7700m²
