Correct Answer: Rs. 1,000
Solution : Let the common ratio be $x$. Share of P = $7x$ Share of Q = $9x$ Share of R = $4x$ Difference = Share of P – Share of Q Given that P receives Rs. 1500 more than R: So, $7x - 4x =1500$ ⇒ $3x = 1500$ ⇒$x = 500$ The difference between the shares of P and Q: Difference = Share of Q – Share of P = $9x-7x = 2x$ = Rs. 4500 – Rs. 3500 = Rs. 1,000 Therefore, the difference between the shares of P and Q is Rs. 1,000. Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 1,000.
