    Question

    20 percent of P's income is equal to 10 percent of Q's income and 10 percent of Q's income is equal to 20 percent of R's income. If R's income is ₹13000, then what is the total income of P, Q and R?

    A.

    52000

    B.

    78000

    C.

    39000

    D.

    65000

    Correct option is A

    Given:
    20% of P's income = 10% of Q's income
    10% of Q's income = 20% of R's income
    R's income = ₹130
    Solution:
    0.20×P=0.10×Q0.20 \times P = 0.10 \times Q​​
    =>P=Q2\Rightarrow P = \frac{Q}{2}​​
    0.10×Q=0.20×R0.10 \times Q = 0.20 \times R​​
    =>Q=2×R\Rightarrow Q = 2 \times R​​
    R = 13000​​

    Finding Q's income: From Q = 2×R:2 \times R:​​
    Q = 2×130002 \times 13000​ = 26000
    Finding P's income: From P = Q2:\frac{Q}{2}:​​
    P = 260002\frac{26000}{2}​ = 13000
    Calculating the total income:
    Total Income = P + Q + R = 13000 + 26000 + 13000 = 52000
    Thus, the correct option is (a) ₹52000
