Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 1 : 48,000

Given:

P : Q : R = 3/2 : 3/4 : 15/16

P : Q : R = 8 : 4 : 5

Given amount is Rs. 2,04,000

Calculation:

The greatest share (A)

⇒(2,04,000/17) × 8 = Rs. 96,000

The smallest share (B)

⇒ (2,04,000/17) × 4 = Rs. 48,000

The difference between the greatest part and the smallest part is

⇒ 96,000 – 48,000

⇒ Rs. 48,000

∴ The difference is Rs. 48,000.
