SSC Selection Post - Graduation Level 2020 - 9 Nov 2020 - Shift 2 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q68

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
