Correct Answer: Rs. 960
Solution : Given: P, Q and R can do a piece of work in 60 days, 100 days, and 80 days. The total work of P, Q, and R is LCM of (60, 100, 80) = 1200 units One day's work of P $=\frac{1200}{60}=20$ One day's work of Q $=\frac{1200}{100}=12$ One day's work of R $=\frac{1200}{80}=15$ The amount will be divided among P, Q, and R as per the ratio of the work done in 1 day. The ratio of 1 day's work of P, Q, and R = 20 : 12 : 15 The amount received by P $=\frac{20}{20+12+15}\times 2256=\frac{20}{47}\times 2256 =960$ Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 960.
