Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
Total Amount Divided = 4200
P:Q = 2:3 ⇒ Q = 3P/2
Q:R = 4:5 ⇒ 3P/2 = 4R/5 ⇒ R =15P/8
R:S = 6:7 ⇒ 15P/8 = 6S/7 ⇒ S = 105P/48
⇒Also, P+Q+R+S = 4200
P + 3P/2 + 15P/8 + 105P/48 = 4200
48P + 72P + 90P + 105P = 48*4200
315P = 48*4200
P = 640
The correct answer is Option (2) → ₹640
