Question

‘A’ can do a piece of work in 8 days. ‘B’ can do 40% of the same work in 16 days. If they work together for the entire time and get paid Rs.1500, then find the share of ‘A’.

A Rs.1175 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
B Rs.1250 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
C Rs.720 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
D Rs.1000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

Solution

Let the total work be 16 units. (LCM of 8 and 16) Efficiency of A = 16/8 = 2 units/day Efficiency of B = (16/16) × (40/100) = 2/5 units/day Ratio of the efficiency of A : B = 2 : 2/5 = 10:2 Share of A = (10/12) × 1500 = Rs.1250
