J1 can do a piece of work alone in 10 days, J2 can do the same work alone in 12 days, while J3 can do it alone in 15 days. They work together and complete the work, and receive a total of ₹2,250 for doing the work. What is the difference in the shares of J1 and J3 ? |
₹400 ₹300 ₹350 ₹450 |
₹300 |
J1 = 10 days, J2 = 12 days, J3 = 15 days, ⇒ Amount paid to them for completing the work together = Rs. 2250. ⇒ (6 + 5 + 4)x = 2250, ⇒ 15x = 2250, ⇒ x = Rs. 150. ⇒ Difference between shares of L1 and L3 = (6 - 4) x 150 = 2 x 150 = Rs. 300. |
