Question

The income of P is 125% of the income of Q and the income of R is 100% of the income of P. If the total income of P, Q, and R together is Rs. 84,000, what is R’s income?
1. Rs. 24,000
2. Rs. 25,000
3. Rs. 30,000
4. Rs. 35,000

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 3 : Rs. 30,000

Given:

Income of P = 125% of income of Q

Income of R = 100% of income of P

Total income of P, Q, and R = Rs. 30,000

Calculation

Let's take Q's income as = 100,

So, Income of P = 100 × (125/100) = 125

Income of R = 125 × (100/100) = 125

Ratio of P, Q, and R’s income = 125 ∶ 100 ∶ 125

⇒ 5 ∶ 4 ∶ 5

R’s income = (84000/14) × 5 = Rs. 30,000

∴ R’s income is Rs. 30,000
