Time and Work

Question:

A and B can finish a piece of work in 12 days and 15 days respectively. Together they start the work but after few days B left the job and A finished the remaining work in 3 days. If A and B get total Rs.6600 for the job, then find B’s share.

Options:

2000

2200

2500

3300

Correct Answer:

2200

Explanation:

Total work = Efficiency × Number of days 

work done by A in last 3 days when B left the work = 5R ×3 = 15R

remaining work = 60R - 15R = 45R

Time taken  = \(\frac{45R}{9R}\) = 5 days

total work by A = 5R × 5 + 15R  = 40R

total work by B = 20R

ratio of their work       A   :    B

                                2    :    1

 the ratio in which amount is paid is same as ratio of their work

3R = 6600

1R = 2200 is the share of B
