Question

A plot has to be divided among P, Q and R in the ratio 2:3:5 respectively. If the area of plot received by R is 5200m² 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

Solution

Let the area of plot received by P, Q and R be 2x, 3x and 5x respectively. According to the question,   => 3x + 5200 = 5x => 2x = 5200 => x = 5200/2 = 2600 Area of plot received by P and Q together, = 2x + 3x = 5x = 5 x 2600 = 13000m²
