Correct Answer: INR 3,916
Solution :
Given:
The ratio of P, Q, R, and S = 8: 6: 3: 2
The amount to be distributed = Rs 6,764
(8x + 6x + 3x + 2x) = Rs 6,764
19x = Rs 6,764
x = 6,764 ÷ 19
x = Rs 356
Thus, the amount each person received –
P = 8 × 356; = Rs 2,848
Q = 6 × 356; = Rs 2,136
R = 3 × 356; = Rs 1,068
S = 2 × 356; = Rs 712
So, the total amount of P and R (2,848 + 1,068) = INR 3,916. Hence, the third option is correct.
