Question:

A, B and C, working alone can do a piece of work in 12, 24 and 36 days respectively. They work together and get ₹3850 for completing the work. What is the difference in shares of B and C?

Options:

₹350

₹1400

₹1050

₹700

Correct Answer:

₹350

Explanation:

A = 12 days, B = 24 days, C = 36 days,

⇒ Total amount given to A + B + C = Rs. 3850.

⇒ (6 + 3 + 2)x = 3850

⇒ 11x = 3850

⇒ x = Rs. 350,

Difference between share of B and C = (2 - 1) x 350 = 1 x 350 = Rs. 350.
