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

a) 3500
b) 4000
c) 4050
d) 5000

Answer: b
Explanation: Let P, Q and R represent their respective monthly incomes.
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 = Rs. 4000
