a sum of money is divided among P,Q,R,S in the ratio of 2:3:4:7 respectively. If the share of R is Rs. 9872 more than the share of P, the what is the total amount of money shared by Q & S?

• let total share be X
  R's share=4/16*X
  p's share=2/16*X
  Acc. to question
  R's share=p's share+9872
  by solving
  X=9872*8
  as above Q's and S's share are 3/16*X and 7/16*X respectively
  Q's + S's share =9872*8*5/8
  i.e 49360

• Given R share =9872,let total share=x
  R's share
  4/16* x=9872
  X=39488
  Q's share=3/16 ×39488
  Q=7404
  S's share=7/16×39488=17276
  Total amount of Q and S =7404+17276=24680

• Answer is Rs.6170/-
  
  R=9872+P=>4x/16=9782+2x/16
  x=(9872*16)/2=78976/-
  Q+S=10x/16=98720/16=Rs.6,170/-
