| Understanding | Application |
| The efficiency of a worker is the inverse of the time taken by him. |
The efficiency of Kamal = 1/8 The efficiency of Anil = 1/14 The total efficiency when both worked together = 1/8 + 1/14 ⇒ (7 + 4)/56 ⇒ 11/56 Anil's share of money ⇒ ((1/14)/(11/56)) × 4400 ⇒ Rs. 1600 |
