The correct Answer is:
To find out how much R gets from the total contract amount of Rs. 1100, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Total Contract Amount**: The total amount for the work is Rs. 1100. 2. **Determine the Work Done by P and Q**: P and Q together are supposed to do \( \frac{7}{22} \) of the work. 3. **Calculate the Share of P and Q**: To find out how much money P and Q will receive, we calculate their share from the total amount: \[ \text{Share of P and Q} = \text{Total Amount} \times \text{Fraction of Work Done by P and Q} \] \[ \text{Share of P and Q} = 1100 \times \frac{7}{22} \] 4. **Simplify the Calculation**: First, simplify \( \frac{7}{22} \): \[ \frac{7}{22} = 0.3181 \text{ (approximately)} \] Now, calculate: \[ 1100 \times \frac{7}{22} = 1100 \times 0.3181 \approx 350 \] 5. **Calculate R's Share**: To find out how much R gets, subtract the share of P and Q from the total amount: \[ \text{Share of R} = \text{Total Amount} - \text{Share of P and Q} \] \[ \text{Share of R} = 1100 - 350 = 750 \] ### Final Answer: R gets Rs. 750. ---
