A father distributed two different amounts among his sons P, Q, R and S. First amount was distributed in the ratio 5 : 4 : 3 : 2 and the second amount was distributed in the ratio 6 : 7 : 8 : 9. If the second amount is thrice the first amount, then which son will get the maximum amount?
S
To solve this problem, we need to determine which son gets the maximum amount when two amounts are distributed among the sons P, Q, R, and S based on given ratios.
Step 1: Understanding the ratios
Step 2: Let the first amount be \(x\)
Step 3: Calculating the distribution for the first amount
Step 4: Calculating the distribution for the second amount
Step 5: Total shares for each son
Step 6: Simplifying and comparing the totals
Conclusion:
Based on the calculated totals, son S receives the maximum amount. Therefore, the correct answer is S.
