A sum of money distributed among four persons P, Q, R, S in the proportion 2:5:4:3. if Q gets Rs. 2000 more than S, then what will be the total amount?
The money is distributed in the ratio 2:5:4:3. Let the shares be 2x, 5x, 4x, and 3x respectively.
Given that Q gets Rs. 2000 more than S:
5x - 3x = 2000
2x = 2000
x = 1000
Total amount = 2x + 5x + 4x + 3x = 14x = 14 × 1000 = 14000
Answer: (C) 14000
