Question

    A plot has to be divided among P, Q and R in the ratio 3:4:6 respectively. If the area of plot received by R is 4800m ² more than the area of plot received by Q, then find the total area of plot received by P and Q.

    A 16800m² Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 12800m² Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 15800m² Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 17800m² Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 16200m² Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the area of plot received by P, Q and R be 3x, 4x and 6x respectively. According to the question, => 4x + 4800 = 6x => 2x = 4800 => x = 4800/2 = 2400 Area of plot received by P and Q together, = 3x + 4x = 7x = 7 x 2400 = 16800m²
