Answer»

? The investments in second quarter was changed and this was in the ratio 2 : 3 : 1;

Suppose the investment in 2nd quarter were RS. 2z, Rs. 3Z and Rs. z;

∴ The investment in last quarter will also be changed and would be Rs. 4Z, Rs. 6z and Rs. 2z;

And the investment in 3rd quarter would be Rs. 3y, Rs. 2y and Rs. 3y;

∴ Total investment of all three for the whole year = (1200 + 2z + 3y + 4z) + (2000 + 3z + 2y + 6z) + (2400 + z + 3y + 2z)

⇒ 5600 + 18z + 8y

? The investment of Q = 2y = Rs. 600

⇒ y = 300

∴ Putting y = 300;

⇒ 5600 + 18z + 2400

⇒ 8000 + 18z

? The total investment of P, Q and R was Rs. 19160;

∴ 8000 + 18z = 19160

⇒ 18z = 11160

⇒ z = 620

∴ Total investment of all three in the last quarter = (4 + 6 + 2) × 620 = Rs. 7440
