The average monthly income of P and Q is Rs. 5050. The average monthly income of Q and R is Rs. 6250 and the average monthly income of P and R is Rs. 5200. The monthly income of P is:
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Let P, Q and R represent their respective monthly incomes. Then, we have:
P + Q = (5050 x 2) = 10100 .... (i)
Q + R = (6250 x 2) = 12500 .... (ii)
P + R = (5200 x 2) = 10400 .... (iii)
Adding (i), (ii) and (iii), we get: 2(P + Q + R) = 33000 or P + Q + R = 16500 .... (iv)
Subtracting (ii) from (iv), we get P = 4000.
P's monthly income = Rs. 4000.

p+q=5050*2=10100
q+r=6250*2=12500
p+r=5200*2=10400
than the total income is (p+q)+(q+r)+(p+r)= 133000
we have 2(p+q+r)=133000
next 2 dividing to 133000
It become p+q+r=16500
then we apply q+r values in there place
p+12500=16500
p=16500-12500
p=4000
Ok?
q+r=6250*2=12500

Ok?

p+q=5050
q+r=6250
p+r=5200
p+q+q+r+p+r=5050+6250+5200
2(p+q+r)=16500
p+q+r=16500/2
=8250
p+6250+8250
p=8250-6250
p=2000(Ans
A get the 2000Ans
How it comes 4000?
Please help me.

Simple method:
p+q+r=5050+5200=10250
we have to subtract q+r from it.. (ie)6250
10250-6250=4000 ans
p+q+r=5050+5200=10250
we have to subtract q+r from it.. (ie)6250
10250-6250=4000 ans

Praveen is wrong why means 8250-6250=2000 not 4000.

Income of p=5050+5200-6250
=10250-6250
=4000
=10250-6250
=4000

P + Q = (5050 x 2) = 10100 .... (i)
Q + R = (6250 x 2) = 12500 .... (ii)
P + R = (5200 x 2) = 10400 .... (iii)
the above three equation need not multiplied by 2 we can get without multiplying by 2(because its only short metod)

No confusion we can do like this
P + Q = (5050 x 2) = 10100
Q + R = (6250 x 2) = 12500
P + R = (5200 x 2) = 10400
We need only p so
p+q-(q+r)+p+r = p+q-q-r+p+r= 2P(cancel r and q)
10100-12500+10400=8000
2P = 8000
P = 4000.
P + Q = (5050 x 2) = 10100
Q + R = (6250 x 2) = 12500
P + R = (5200 x 2) = 10400
We need only p so
p+q-(q+r)+p+r = p+q-q-r+p+r= 2P(cancel r and q)
10100-12500+10400=8000
2P = 8000
P = 4000.

Simple method:.
p+q+r = 5050+5200 = 10250.
We have to subtract q+r from it. (ie) 6250.
10250-6250 = 4000 answer.
