    Question

    Five friends ('P', 'Q', 'R', 'S', and 'T') went to a cafe

    and their bill was Rs. 2,000. 'P' paid 1/4th of what the other four paid combined. 'Q' paid 30% less than what 'P' paid. 'R', 'S', and 'T' equally shared the remaining amount, which was Rs. 10 more than what 'P' paid. Find the amount paid by 'Q'.
    A Rs.500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs.425 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs.350 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs.540 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let the amount paid by 'P' be Rs. 'n'.

    Then, the total amount paid by 'Q', 'R', 'S', and 'T' = 3n.

    So, we set up the equation:

    n + 3n = 2000

    4n = 2000

    n = 500.

    Now, amount paid by 'Q' = 500 - (0.30 × 500) = 500 - 150 = Rs. 350.
