Options

• 4900

• 8575

• 7350

Answer 1

8575

Explanation:

R = 2P,  P = 2Q

R =2P = 4Q ............(Dividing by 4)

`"R"/4="P"/2="Q"/1`

Ratio in which sum is divided among R, P and Q= 4 : 2 : 1

Let sum be = 4x, 2x and x

According to the question,

4x − x = 3675.00

3x = 3675 = 1225

Total sum = 7x

= 7 × 1255 = 8575
