    Question

    Rs. 1080 was to be distributed between P, Q, and R in the

    ratio (1/4):(1/6):(1/3), but due to a mistake, it was distributed in the ratio 10:8:6. How much extra did Q receive?
    A Rs.100 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs.120 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs.150 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs.175 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    L.C.M of 4, 6 and 3 = 12

    Converted ratio = (3:2:4)

    Total parts = 3 + 2 + 4 = 9

    Correct share of Q = 1080 × (2/9) = Rs. 240

    Incorrect share of Q = 1080 × (8/24) = Rs. 360

    Excess amount = Rs. 360 – Rs. 240 = Rs. 120
