Priya distributed 444 Notebooks among her three sons P, Q and R such that P got 2/3rd less than Q and 60% more than R. How many books received by P?
a. 46
b. 66
c. 86
d. 96
e. 120
Sol:
Total notebooks = 444
P= (1 – 2/3) Q and therefore P = 1/3 Q
P = (100% + 60%) R and therefore P = 8/5 R
P + 3P + 5P/8 = 444
37P = 8 * 444
P= 96 Notebooks
