An amount of Rs.40,000 is to be distributed amongst P, Q, R and S such that “P” gets twice as that of “Q” and “S” gets four times as that of “R”. If “Q” and “R” are to receive equal amount, what is the difference between the amounts received by S and P? Choose the correct option
A) 2378 B) 2697 C) 10000 D) 5000 E) 6971
Explanation:   We have, P = 2Q &amp; S = 4R   Further Q = R &amp; P + Q + R + S = 40,000   Thus we get, 2Q + Q + Q + 4Q = 40,000   8Q = 40,000 or Q = Rs. 5000   Thus, R = Rs. 2500, P = 10000 &amp; S = Rs. 20000   Hence, the required difference = (S – P) = (20000 – 10000) = Rs. 10000   ANSWER:10000
