Question:

G1 can do a piece of work alone in 20 days, G2 can do the same piece of work alone in 40 days, while G3 can do it alone in 60 days. They worked together and completed the work. If the combined share received by G1 and G2 is ₹2,700, then what is the total amount received by all the 3 workers taken together?

Options:

₹3,300

₹3,600

₹3,000

₹3,900

Correct Answer:

₹3,300

Explanation:

G1 = 20 days, G2 = 40 days, G3 = 60 days,

⇒ Combined share received by G1 + G2 = Rs. 2700.

⇒ (6 + 3)x = 2700

⇒ 9x = 2700

⇒ x = 300,

Total amount they all got = (6 + 3 + 2) x 300 = 11 x 300 = Rs. 3300.
