    Question

    Rs. 2016 was wrongly divided between ‘P’, ‘Q’,

    and ‘R’ in the ratio of 6:7:9, respectively, instead of (1/6):(1/7):(1/9). Amount received by ‘Q’ was how much more/less than the original amount that he should receive.
    A Rs.35 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs.20 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs.60 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs.40 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ Ratio of amount received by ‘P’, ‘Q’, and ‘R’ respectively, originally = (1/6):(1/7):(1/9)× 126 = 21:18:14 So, the amount that should be received by ‘Q’ originally = (18/53)×2016=Rs.684 Amount received by ‘Q’ actually = (7/22)×2016=Rs.644 Desired difference = 684 – 644 = Rs. 40
