₹2,300 is to be divided among P, Q, R and S in such a way that the ratio of P : Q : R : S is 2 : 6 : 9 : 6, respectively. What is the sum of the shares of P and S ?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
P : Q : R : S
2 : 6 : 9 : 6
⇒ (2 + 6 + 9 + 6) units = Rs. 2300
⇒ 23 units = 2300
⇒ 1 unit = Rs. 100
⇒ P + S = (2 + 6) x 100 = 8 x 100 = Rs. 800.
