Raghu agrees to complete a work for ₹8,400 in 16 days. But by engaging an assistant, the work is completed in 12 days. Find the share of money/remuneration to be received by the assistant.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. ₹2,100.
Raghu's rate = 1/16
Combined rate = 1/12
Assistant's rate = 1/12 - 1/16 = 1/48
Raghu : Assistant = 1/16 : 1/48 = 3 : 1
Assistant's share = (1/4) × 8400 = 2100
