Question:

The daily wages of P, Q and R are in the proportion 5 : 7 : 8. If Q earns ₹560 per day, then what are the daily wages(in ₹) of R and P, respectively?

Options:

400 and 640

350 and 590

640 and 400

590 and 350

Correct Answer:

640 and 400

Explanation:

P : Q : R

5 : 7 : 8

⇒ Q = Rs. 560

⇒ 7 units = 560

⇒ 1 unit = 80

⇒ Share of R and P = 8 x 80 = 640, 5 x 80 = 400.

⇒ R = Rs. 640, P = Rs. 400
