    β€˜X’ and β€˜Y’ together can finish an assignment in

    30 days while β€˜Y’ and β€˜Z’ together can finish the same assignment in 45 days. β€˜X’ and β€˜Y’ together worked on it for 20 days and then β€˜Z’ alone completed the remaining work in 15 days. If β€˜X’, β€˜Y’, and β€˜Z’ started the assignment and worked together till its completion for which they received Rs. 1200 as total wage, then the share of β€˜X’ out of the total wage will be:
    A Rs 120 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs 200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs 220 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs 240 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Rs 300 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the total amount of work = 180 units (LCM of 30 and 45) Work done by β€˜X’ and β€˜Y’ together in one day = 180 / 30 = 6 units Work done by β€˜Y’ and β€˜Z’ together in one day = 180 / 45 = 4 units Work done by β€˜X’ and β€˜Y’ together in 20 days = 20 Γ— 6 = 120 units Remaining work = 180 - 120 = 60 units Efficiency of β€˜Z’ = 60 / 15 = 4 units per day Efficiency of β€˜Y’ = 4 units (since Y and Z complete 4 units per day together) Efficiency of β€˜X’ = 6 – 4 = 2 units per day Share of β€˜X’ = (2 / (2 + 4 + 4)) Γ— 1200 = 2/10 Γ— 1200 = Rs 240
