Question

    Anil alone can finish some work in 50 days. Anil and

    Aman completed the work together and earned Rs. 9,000 as wage. If Aman's wage share is Rs. 3,600, then find the time taken by Aman to finish the work alone.
    A 18 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 25 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 45 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 75 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Share of Anil = 9000 - 3600 = Rs. 5,400 We know that wages are distributed in the ratio of efficiency when work is done together. So, the ratio of efficiency of Anil and Aman = 5400:3600 = 3:2 Therefore, the ratio of time taken by Anil and Aman to complete the work alone = 2:3 Therefore, the time taken by Aman to finish the work = 50 x (3/2) = 75 days
