Correct Answer: 7:3


Solution : Answer = 7:3

P:R = 54000:36000

= 6:4 of 3:2

as P takes $\frac{2}{6}\times\frac{3}{5} = \frac{6}{30}$

R takes = $\frac{2}{6}\times\frac{2}{5} = \frac{4}{30}$

N.R. = O.R. + G.R.

P = $\frac{3}{6} + \frac{6}{30} = \frac{15+6}{30} = \frac{21}{30}$

R = $\frac{1}{6} + \frac{4}{30} = \frac{5+4}{30} = \frac{9}{30}$

N.P.S.R. = 21:9 = 7:3
Hence, the correct option is 2.
