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.
