      Question

      A sum of Rs. 12,600 was to be divided among 3 friends

      namely 'P', 'Q' and 'R' in the ratio 1/2 : 1/3 : 1/6, respectively. But due to a miscalculation, it was wrongly divided among 'P', 'Q' and 'R' in the ratio 4 : 5 : 9, respectively. The amount received by 'R' is how much more/less than the amount he actually should have received?
      A Rs. 2,100 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Rs. 2,800 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Rs. 3,150 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Rs. 4,200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Given ratio = 1/2 : 1/3 : 1/6 = 3 : 2 : 1 So, amount that 'R' actually should have received = 12600 Γ— (1/6) = Rs. 2,100 Amount received by 'R' = 12600 Γ— (9/18) = Rs. 6,300 So, required difference = 6300 - 2100 = Rs. 4,200
