₹10,415 is divided among P, Q, and R in such a way that if ₹62, ₹17, and ₹79 are deducted from their respective shares, they have money in the ratio 15:10:14.
₹10,415 is divided among P, Q, and R in such a way that if ₹62, ₹17, and ₹79 are deducted from their respective shares, they have money in the ratio 15:10:14. Find the difference between the original shares of Q and R.
₹10,415 को P, Q और R के बीच इस प्रकार बाँटा गया है कि यदि उनके हिस्सों से क्रमशः ₹62, ₹17 और ₹79 घटा दिए जाएँ, तो उनके पास बची हुई राशि का अनुपात 15 : 10 : 14 हो जाता है। Q और R के मूल हिस्सों के बीच का अंतर ज्ञात कीजिए।
Detailed Solution & Logic
₹1,114
et the original shares of P, Q and R be P, Q, R respectively.
After deductions:
-
P’s share = P - 62
-
Q’s share = Q - 17
-
R’s share = R - 19
These are in the ratio 15:10:14:
$P - 62 : Q - 17 : R - 79 = 15 : 10 : 14$
Let the common multiple be xxx:
$P - 62 = 15x \implies P = 15x + 62$
$Q - 17 = 10x \implies Q = 10x + 17$
$R - 79 = 14x \implies R = 14x + 79$
Total sum: $P + Q + R = 10415$
Substitute:
$(15x + 62) + (10x + 17) + (14x + 79) = 10415$
$39x + 158 = 10415$
$39x = 10415 - 158 = 10257$
$x = \frac{10257}{39} = 263$
Now calculate Q and R:
$Q = 10x + 17 = 10 \cdot 263 + 17 = 2647$
$R = 14x + 79 = 14 \cdot 263 + 79 = 3761$
Difference between Q and R:
$R - Q = 3761 - 2647 = 1114$
