SSC CHSL - 09 March 2023 - Shift 1 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q63

Tina alone can do a piece of work in 12 days and Meena alone can do the same work in 15 days. If Tina and Meena undertook to do this work for Rs.18,000, then how much amount will Meena get, if they work together?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. Rs. 8,000.

Total work = 60 (LCM of 12 and 15)

Efficiency of Tina = 60/12 = 5

Efficiency of Meena = 60/15 = 4

Time required for Tina and Meena to complete the work = 60/(5 + 4) = 20/3 days

Meena's share =4×20360×18000=8000=\frac{4\times\frac{20}{3}}{60}\times18000=8000
