    • Question

      If P:Q:R = 2:3:5 and R – P = 72, then what is the value

      of 3P + 2R – Q?
      A 175 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 159 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 115 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 192 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      Let P = ‘x’

      then, Q = x × (3/2) = ‘1.5x’

      And, R = x × (5/2) = ‘2.5x’

      ATQ;

      2.5x – x = 72

      Or, 1.5x = 72

      So, x = 48

      So, ‘P’ = 48, ‘Q’ = 1.5 × 48 = 72 and ‘R’ = 2.5 × 48 = 120

      Required value = (3 × 48) + (2 × 120) – (72) = 192
