Question:

A1 alone can complete a piece of work in 14 days, A2 alone can complete the same work in 21 days, while A3 alone can complete the same work in 28 days. The three worked together, completed the work, and received a total payment of ₹1,040 for doing the work. What is A2's share in the total payment received?

Options:

₹240

₹480

₹320

₹400

Correct Answer:

₹320

Explanation:

A = 14 days,

B = 21 days,

C = 28 days,

⇒ Total payment received by A1 + A2 + A3 to complete the work = Rs. 1040.

⇒ (6 + 4 + 3)x = 1040

⇒ 13x = 1040.

⇒ x = Rs. 80

Therefore, A2's share = 4 x 80 = Rs. 320.
