    B Rs.880 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs.900 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs.760 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the total work be 60 units. (LCM of 15 and 20) Efficiency of A = 60/15 = 4 units/day Efficiency of B = (60/20) × (80/100) = 12/5 units/day Ratio of the efficiency of A : B = 4 : 12/5 = 5:3 Share of A = (5/8) × 1408 = Rs.880
