    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
