Question

    A sum of Rs. 2,100 is distributed among three persons P,

    Q, and R in the ratio 3:2:5. If the same sum had been distributed in the ratio 5:2:3, then how much more money would P have received?
    A 450 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 360 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 420 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Original amount received by ‘P’ = Rs. 2100 × (3/10) = Rs. 630

    Amount received by ‘P’ according to the new ratio = Rs. 2100 × (5/10) = Rs. 1050

    So, required difference = 1050 – 630 = Rs. 420
