Solution 2
Sure, let's solve this step by step:
-
P took 3/8th of the fruits. So, the remaining fruits are 1 - 3/8 = 5/8.
-
Q took 1/5th of the remaining fruits. So, the remaining fruits are 5/8 - (1/5 * 5/8) = 5/8 - 1/8 = 4/8 = 1/2.
-
The remaining fruits were equally distributed among R and S. So, each of them got 1/2 / 2 = 1/4 of the fruits.
So, R got 1/4 of the fruits. The correct answer is not in the options provided.
