A Correct answer
Explanation

Let P's share = x. Then Q = x + 30, R = (x + 30) + 60 = x + 90. Total: x + (x + 30) + (x + 90) = 300, so 3x + 120 = 300, 3x = 180, x = 60. Shares are P = 60, Q = 90, R = 150. Ratio 60:90:150 = 2:3:5. Option A is correct. Option B reverses P and Q, Option C has wrong order, and Option D is completely reversed.
