Manish can do a piece of work in 7 days while Anil can do the same piece of work in 6 days. The wage for full work is Rs. 390, If they both work together to complete the work, then find the earnings of Manish.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. Rs.180.

Manish can do a piece of work in 7 days while Anil can do the same piece of work in 6 days

L.C.M(7 and 6) = 42

The efficiency of Manish = 42/7 = 6 units

The efficiency of Anil = 42/6 = 7 units

⇒ 6x + 7x = Rs.390

⇒ 13x = 390

⇒ x = 30

Earning of Manish = 6x = Rs.180
