- The problem gives the ratios of shares for P, Q, R, and S: 3:4:5:6.

- Let the amount of money each unit represents be x.

- Therefore, P gets 3x, Q gets 4x, R gets 5x, and S gets 6x.

- R receives Rs500 more than Q. So, 5x = 4x + 500.

- Solving for x, we find that x = 500.

- The total sum is 3x + 4x + 5x + 6x = 18x.

- Substituting x = 500, the total is 18 * 500 = 9,000.

- Option 2: 9,000 is the correct answer.

- Option 1 (8,000), Option 3 (7,500), and Option 4 (6,000) are incorrect.
