Rs 368 is divide among P, Q and R such that P gets \(\frac{3}{5}\) of what Q gets and Q gets \(\frac{1}{3}\) of R gets. Now what is the share of R?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
P + Q + R = 368
P = \(\frac{3}{5}\) Q ⇒ P : Q = 3 : 5
Q = \(\frac{1}{3}\) R ⇒ Q : R = 1 : 3
P : Q : R
3 : 5
1 : 3
3 : 5 : 15 = 23 R
⇒ 23R = 368
⇒ 1R = 16
Now, share of R = 15R = 15 × 16 = 240
