Correct Answer: Rs. 5500


Solution : The ratio of their salaries is 5 : 6 : 8.
Let the salaries of P, Q, and R be 5x, 6x and 8x, respectively.
Since the salary of R = Salary of Q + Rs. 2200
Now, 8x = 6x + 2200
⇒ 2x = 2200
⇒ x = 1100
So, the salary of P = 5x
= 5 × 1100
= Rs. 5500
Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 5500.
