    Incorrect Answer

    4000

    Correct Answer
    Explanation:

    Let P, Q and R represent their respective monthly incomes. Then, we have:
    P + Q = (5050 x 2) = 10100 .... (i)
    Q + R = (6250 x 2) = 12500 .... (ii)
    P + R = (5200 x 2) = 10400 .... (iii)
    Adding (i), (ii) and (iii), we get:  2(P + Q + R) = 33000  or   P + Q + R = 16500 .... (iv)
    Subtracting (ii) from (iv), we get P = 4000.
    P's monthly income = Rs. 4000
