The average monthly income of P and Q is Dollar 5050. The average monthly income of Q and R is Dollar 6250 and the average monthly income of P and R is Dollar 5200. The monthly income of P is:


A. Dollar 3500
B. Dollar 4000
C. Dollar 4050
D. Dollar 5000

Answer & Explanation:

Answer: Option B

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 = Dollar 4000.
