Question:

Vikas and Rohit can together complete a work in 15 hrs and earn Rs 2880. If Vikas would have worked alone, it would have taken him 40 hrs to do the same work. Find Rohit's share in the joint payment?

Options:

Rs 1760      

Rs 1650      

Rs 1800      

Rs 1830      

Correct Answer:

Rs 1800      

Explanation:

                Vikas   :   Vikas + Rohit

Days            40    :       15                 = 8  : 3                           

Efficiency       3    :         8

Efficiency of Rohit =  8 - 3 = 5

Rohit's share = \(\frac{5}{8}\)  x 2880 = Rs 1800
