      E 2800 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let share of ‘Q’ = Rs. 100x Share of ‘P’ = 100x + {20% of 100x} = Rs. 120x Share of ‘R’ = (4/3) × 120x = Rs. 160x Total amount with ‘P’, ‘Q’ and ‘R’, together = 3800 × 3 = Rs. 11400 So, 120x + 100x + 160x = 11400 Or, 380x = 11400 Or, x = 30 So, share of ‘Q’ = 100x = 100 × 30 = Rs. 3000
