  • Options
  • A. 2
  • B. 3
  • C. 4
  • D. 5

  • Correct Answer


  • Explanation

    According to the given data,

    P + Q = 41 ......(1)

    R - 1 = P + 2

    R = P + 3

    and

    P + 4 = Q - 1

    => Q = P + 5 ....(2)

    From (1)&(2)

    P = 18

    Q = 18 + 5 = 23

    R = 18 + 3 = 21

    => P/S = 3/4

    => S = 4/3 x 18 = 24

    Required Difference = S - R = 24 - 21 = 3.
