Answer»

<P>After 6 months, P doubled his investment.

⇒ P invested Rs. 3500 for 6 months and Rs. 7000 for other 6 months.

Q and R invested for only 4 months of the year.

The ratio of PROFITS of P, Q, R and S

= (6 × 3500 + 6 × 7000) : (4 × 3500) : (4 × 3500) : (12 × 3500)

= 9 : 2 : 2 : 6

Q got a profit of Rs. 200.

So, TOTAL profit = ((9 + 2 + 2 + 6)/2) × Rs. 200 = Rs. 1900
