A sum of money is to be distributed among P, Q and R in the ratio 6 : 19 : 7. If R gives Rs.200 from his share to Q. the ratio of P, Q and R becomes 3 : 10 : 3. what is the total sum?
A Rs. 6400
B Rs.12800
C Rs. 3200
D Data inadequate
Correct answer is: Rs. 6400
Explanation:
Let P's share be 6x
Q's share be 19x and
R's share be 7x.
Total sum = 6x + 19x + 7x = 32x
6x : 19x + 200 : 7x - 200
= 3 : 10 : 3
We can write
6x = 7x - 200 => x = 200
Total sum = 32x = Rs.6400
