P can do a piece of work alone in 16 days, Q can do the same work alone in 24 days, while R can do it alone in 48 days. They work together and complete the work, and receive a total of ₹744 as payment for doing the work. What is the share of the person who received the smallest amount? |
₹132 ₹112 ₹118 ₹124 |
₹124 |
P = 16 days, Q = 24 days, R = 48 days, ⇒ Adding the efficiencies, we get ⇒ (3 + 2 +1) units = Rs. 744 ⇒ 6 units = Rs. 744 ⇒ 1 unit = 124 ⇒ Smallest amount got by R i.e; = 1 x 124 = Rs. 124. |
