C Correct answer
Explanation

Ratio P:Q:R = 3:4:1. R = 1 part = 3000. Total parts = 3+4+1 = 8. Total sum = 8 * 3000 = 24000.

AI explanation

Let the shares of P, Q and R be 3x, 4x and 1x. The share of R is given as 3000, so 1x equals 3000. The total sum is 3x plus 4x plus 1x, which equals 8x. Multiplying 8 by 3000 gives the total sum of 24000.
