An amount of money is shared among P,Q and R such that for every 3P gets, Q gets 2 and for every 1Q gets, R gets 4. Find P: Q : R

Let's assume that P gets x amount of money.

According to the given information, for every 3P gets, Q gets 2. So, for every x, Q gets (2/3)x.

Similarly, for every 1Q gets, R gets 4. So, for every (2/3)x, R gets 4.

To find the ratio of P:Q:R, we need to express the amounts in terms of a common variable. Let's express all the amounts in terms of P.

P:Q = x : (2/3)x = 3x : 2x
Q:R = (2/3)x : 4 = x : (6/2) = x : 3

Therefore, the ratio of P:Q:R is 3x : 2x : 3.

Please note that the specific values of P, Q, and R cannot be determined with the given information, but the ratio between them is 3x : 2x : 3.
