The ratio of efficiencies of P, Q and R is 2 : 3 : 4. While P and R work on alternate days and Q work for all days. Now the work completed in total 10 days and the total amount they get is Rs. 1200. Find the amount of each person(respectively).

200, 600, 400
400, 600, 200
600, 200, 400
400, 200, 600

Correct Answer: 200, 600, 400

Explanation:

Ratio of efficiencies of P, Q and R = 2 : 3 : 4

From the given data,

Number of working days of P, Q, R = 5 : 10 : 5

Hence, ratio of amount of p, Q, R = 2x5 : 3x10 : 4x5 = 10 : 30 : 20

Amounts of P, Q, R = 200, 600 and 400.
