Practicing Success
A, B and C together can complete a work in 10 days. A and B together can do the same work in 12 days. If A, B and C received ₹9,000 for doing the work together, then what was the share of C from the above amount? |
₹3,000 ₹3,750 ₹1,500 ₹2,250 |
₹1,500 |
A + B + C = 10 days, A + B = 12 days, ⇒ A + B + C = 6 (Efficiency) ⇒ 5 + C = 6, ⇒ C = 1, Total wages for working together = Rs. 9000, ⇒ (5 + 1)x = 9000 ⇒ 6x = 9000 ⇒ x = Rs. 1500, ⇒ Therefore, C's share = 1 x 1500 = Rs. 1500. |
