    Question

    A total of Rs. ‘K’ was to be distributed among P, Q,

    and R in ratio of 7:5:6 respectively but due to some reason the money was falsely distributed in ratio of 6:5:7 respectively such that P received Rs. 4200 less. Find the value of 2K.
    A ₹151200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B ₹150000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C ₹153600 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D ₹148200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E ₹145800 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the total amount [K] be Rs. 18x
    So, amount which P was supposed to receive = 18x × (7/18) = Rs. 7x
    Amount which was actually received by P = 18x × (6/18) = Rs. 6x
    ATQ,
    7x - 6x = 4200
    ⇒ x = 4200
    Also,
    K = 18x = 18 × 4200 = Rs. 75600
    Therefore, required value,
    2K = 2 × 75600 = ₹151200
