The shares of P, R and S in a business are in the ratio 2 : 3 : 4. If the total profit is₹18,000, then S gets how much more (in ₹) than P?

Correct option is D

Given:

Shares of P, R, and S in the business = 2 : 3 : 4

Total profit = ₹18,000

Solution:

Total ratio = 2 + 3 + 4 = 9

Profit share of S = $$\frac{4}{9} \times 18,000$$​ = 8,000

Profit share of P = $$\frac{2}{9} \times 18,000$$​ = 4,000

Difference = ₹8,000 − ₹4,000 = ₹4,000

Alternate Solution: ​

Direct - ratio difference of S and P 

= 2 

Difference = $$\frac29\times18000 = 4000$$​​
