A can complete a piece of work in 8\(\frac{1}{2}\) days for Rs.8500, but he complete that work with the help of B in just 6 days. The amount (in Rs.) to be paid to B will be?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
Efficiency of A = 12
Efficiency of B = 17 - 12 = 5
Work done by B in 6 days = 5 × 6 = 30
Amount for 102 work = Rs.8500
Amount for 1 work = \(\frac{8500}{102}\)
Amount for 30 work = \(\frac{8500}{102}\) × 30 = Rs.2500
