Rs. 8750 is to be distributed to three-person P, Q, and R. Q receives (1/4) of what P and R receive together and P receives (2/5) of what Q and R receive together. Then, P receives the amount (in rupees) Correct Answer 2500

Given:

Amount to be distributed among P, Q, and R = Rs. 8750

Calculation:

According to the question, we have

P = /5

⇒ 5P/2 = (Q + R)

Now,

P + Q + R =Rs. 8750

⇒ P + (5P/2) = 8750

⇒ 7P/2 = 8750

⇒ P = (8750 × 2)/7

⇒ P = 1250 × 2

⇒ P = Rs. 2,500

∴ The amount P receives is Rs. 2,500.
