      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 Ă— 500) = 500 - 150 = Rs. 350.
