In a job, L1, L2 and L3 work for 3, 4 and 6 days, respectively. The ratio of the daily wages of L1, L2 and L3 is 2 : 3 : 1, respectively. If they receive ₹2,400 as the total wages, then what is the share of L1 ?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
L1 = 3 days, L2 = 4 days, L3 = 6 days,
Wages ratio,
L1 : L2 : L3 = 2 : 3 : 1
⇒ Total amount for wages = Rs. 2400
⇒ 3 days x 2 : 4 days x 3 : 6 days x 1 = L1 : L2 : L3
⇒ L1 : L2 : L3 = 1 : 2 : 1
⇒ (1 + 2 + 1)x = Rs. 2400.
⇒ 4x = 2400
⇒ x = Rs, 600,
Therefore, share of L1 is 1 x 600 = Rs. 600.
