Question:

Jcan do a piece of work alone in 10 days, Jcan do the same work alone in 12 days, while Jcan 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 Jand J?

Options:

₹400

₹300

₹350

₹450

Correct Answer:

₹300

Explanation:

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.
