    Question

    Anoop and Bheema, working

    individually, can complete a task in 16 days and 12 days, respectively. If they worked together and earned a total wage of Rs. 4,900, what is Anoop's share of the total wage?
    A Rs 2,500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs 3,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs 1,550 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs.2,100 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Since, 'Anoop' and 'Bheema' completed the work together therefore ratio of the wages received by them will be same as the ratio of their efficiencies. Ratio of efficiencies is reciprocal of the ratio of the time taken by them Therefore, ratio of efficiency of 'A' to that of 'B' = (1/16) :(1/12) = 12:16 = 3:4 Therefore, wage received by 'Anoop' = 4900 × (3/7) = Rs. 2,100
