Solution
Total amount = Rs 44352
M's share= $\frac{3}{8}\times44352$ = Rs 16632
Remaining amount = 44352 - 16632 = Rs 27720
N's Share = $\frac{1}{6}\times27720$ = Rs 4620
Remaining amount = 27720 - 4620 = Rs 23100
Ratio in which the remaining amount is divided between O: P = 3:2
P's share = $\frac{2}{5}\times23100$ = Rs 9240
