C Correct answer
Explanation

Let R's share be x. Then Q gets x + 1600 and P gets x + 1600 + 1400 = x + 3000. Their total is x + (x + 1600) + (x + 3000) = 3x + 4600 = 10600. Solving gives x = 2000, so R = 2000, Q = 3600, P = 5000. The ratio P:Q:R simplifies from 5000:3600:2000 to 25:18:10. Option A (16:9:18) and D (16:25:10) don't match this pattern.
