    C Rs.1000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs.1050 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the total work be 36 units. (LCM of 12 and 18) Efficiency of A = 36/12 = 3 units/day Efficiency of B = (36/18) × (60/100) = 6/5 units/day Ratio of the efficiency of A : B = 3 : 6/5 = 15:6 Share of A = (15/21) × 1540 = Rs.1100
