Correct Answer: Rs. 2,615


Solution : Total amount = Rs. 12,029
P's share = 5Q
R's share = $\frac{1}{3}$P = $\frac{5}{3}$Q
P's Share + Q's Share + R's Share = 12029
$5\text{Q} + \text{Q} + \frac{5}{3}\text{Q}$ = 12029
⇒ $\frac{15\text{Q} + 3\text{Q} + 5\text{Q}}{3}$ = 12029
⇒ $\frac{23\text{Q}}{3}$ = 12029
⇒ 23Q = 36087
⇒ Q = Rs. 1569
$\therefore$ Share of Q is Rs. 1569
Now, we have to find the share of R.
R = $\frac{5}{3}$Q
⇒ R = $\frac{5}{3}$ × 1569
⇒ R = Rs. 2615
Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 2615.
