  1. $10$

  2. $100$

  3. $110$

  4. $1$

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:
$1$ Million $=$ $10$ lakh
$100$lakh $=$ Q million
Q $=$ ($100$/$10$) $=$$10$
R crore $=$ $100$ Million
R $=$ ($100$X$1000000$) / ($10000000$)
R $=$ $10$
$100$ X $1000$ $=$ $1$lakh $=$ P lakhs
P $=$ $1$
$10$X$10000000$ $=$ S Million
S $=$ $100000000$/$1000000$
S $=$  $100$
So, P $=$ $1$,   Q $=$ $10$,  R $=$ $10$,  S $=$ $100$
P $+$ Q  $=$ $11$
$\dfrac{(P+Q)}{R}=$ $11/10$
$\left(\dfrac{(P+Q)}{R}\right)\times S=\dfrac{11}{10}\times 100$ $=$ $110$
Hence, option C is correct.
