    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Let the amounts received by P, Q, and R be Rs. 3x, Rs. 7x, and Rs. 5x respectively.
    Amount received by P and Q = 2400 × (3 + 7) ÷ (3 + 7 + 5) = 2400 × 10 ÷ 15 = Rs. 1600
    Amount received by Q and R = 2400 × (7 + 5) ÷ 15 = 2400 × 12 ÷ 15 = Rs. 1920
    Required difference = 1920 - 1600 = Rs.320
