1 Answer

Answer :

Answer- B(Rs.688 )

Solution : P : Q = 3 : 2 , P : R = 2 : 1 [given] Q : P = 2 : 3 [reverse],

Q : P = 4 : 6 [multiply by 2] Now, P : R = 2 : 1

P : R = 6 : 3 [multiply by 3] P : Q =6 : 4 [after x3] , So Q : P : R = 4 :

6 : 3

or, P : Q : R = 6 : 4 : 3

Q’s share= 4/13 x 2236=Rs.688
