Question

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. Let the shares of P, Q, and R be $5x$, $3x$, and $4x$ respectively, according to the given ratio.

2. Given that P's share is ₹1,500 more than R's share:
   $$5x = 4x + 1500$$

3. Simplify the equation:
   $$5x - 4x = 1500 \ x = 1500$$

4. Calculate Q's share:
   $$3x = 3 	imes 1500 = 4500$$

**Answer:** ₹4,500
