A, B and C completes a work in 5 days, 6 days and 8 days, respectively. If they work together and get ₹2,950 for the work, how much amount does B get?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. ₹1000
Given:
Time taken by A = 5 days
Time taken by B = 6 days
Time taken by C = 8 days
Concept Used:
Total work = Efficiency × Time
The wages are distributed in the ratio of the respective efficiencies.
Explanation:
Let the total work br LCM of (5, 6, and 8) = 120
Efficiency of A = 120/5 = 24
Efficiency of B = 120/6 = 20
Efficiency of C = 120/8 = 15
The amount does B get = {2950/(24 + 20 + 15)} × 20 = ₹1000
