    Question

    Rs. 36000 is shared among 'Pawan', 'Qureshi' and 'Raju'

    such that 'Pawan' receives (3/5) of what 'Qureshi' gets and (3/2) times of what 'Raju' gets. What is the amount received by 'Qureshi'?
    A Rs.18000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs.19500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs.20000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs.16200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let the amount received by 'Qureshi' be Rs. 5x

    Therefore, amount received by 'Pawan' = 5x × (3/5) = Rs. 3x

    Amount received by 'Raju' = 3x ÷ (3/2) = 3x × (2/3) = Rs. 2x

    According to the question,

    5x + 3x + 2x = 36000

    ⇒ 10x = 36000

    ⇒ x = 36000 ÷ 10 = 3600

    Therefore, amount received by 'Qureshi' = 5x = 5 × 3600 = Rs. 18,000
