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?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
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
