P, Q, and R are partners in a company. In any given year, P receives \frac{1}{9} part of the total profit, Q receives \frac{1}{6} part of the profit, and R receives Rs 130000 . How much amount (in Rs) will P get as profit?

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Let the total profit be x .The total shares of P and Q combined are: Combined share = \frac{1}{9} + \frac{1}{6} Taking the LCM of 9 and 6, which is 18 : Combined share = \frac{2 + 3}{18} = \frac{5}{18} Therefore, the remaining part of the profit belongs to R : Share of R = 1 - \frac{5}{18} = \frac{13}{18} Given that R's profit is Rs 130000 : \frac{13}{18} x = 130000 x = 130000 \times \frac{18}{13} x = 10000 \times 18 = 180000 Now, calculate P's profit share: Profit of P = \frac{1}{9} \times 180000 = Rs 20000
