Piyush alone can complete a work in 8 days and Arun alone can complete the same work in 14 days. If they both get ₹44000 to complete the work, then what is the share of Piyush?

Options:

₹24000

₹16000

₹28000

₹21000

Correct Answer:

₹28000

Piyush = 8 days, Arun = 14 days,

⇒ Amount they got paid to complete the work together = Rs. 44000,

⇒ (7 + 4)x = Rs. 44000,

⇒ 11x = 44000,

⇒ x = 4000,

Therefore, Piyush's Share is = 7 x 4000 = Rs. 28000.
