C Correct answer
Explanation

Ratio P:Q:R:S = 5:2:4:3. R receives 4x and S receives 3x. Difference = 4x - 3x = x = 1000. Q's share = 2x = 2 * 1000 = 2000.

AI explanation

Let the shares of P, Q, R, and S be 5x, 2x, 4x, and 3x respectively. The difference between R's and S's share is 4x - 3x = x. Since R receives Rs. 1,000 more than S, we have x = 1,000. Q's share is 2x, which equals 2 * 1,000 = Rs. 2,000.
