A Correct answer
Explanation

Let shares be 7x, 6x, 5x, 3x. P - R = 7x - 5x = 2x = 3000, so x = 1500. S gets 3x = 3 * 1500 = 4500.

AI explanation

The difference between P's ratio share and R's ratio share is 7 - 5 = 2 parts, which is given as Rs. 3000. By dividing 3000 by 2, we find that 1 part equals Rs. 1500. S's share corresponds to 3 parts, so we multiply 3 by 1500 to get Rs. 4500.
