An amount of money is to be distributed among P, Q and R in the ratio of 5:9:17 respectively. If the total of the shares of P and Q is Rs.7,000. What is R’s share in it
Let the amount distributed among P, Q and R be 5x, 9x and 17x respectively
Total shares of P and Q is 7,000 (given) i.e
$$\Rightarrow$$ 5x + 9x = 7,000
$$\Rightarrow$$ 14x = 7,000 (or) x = 500
$$\therefore$$ R's share = 17(500) = 8,500
Hence, option C is the correct answer.
