A can do a piece of work in 10 days, B in 15 days. They work together for 5 days, the rest of the work is finished by C in two more days. If they get Rs. 3000 as wages for the whole work, what are the daily wages of A, B and C respectively (in Rs):

View Answer

Correct choice: B

Explanation:

A's 5 days work = 50% B's 5 days work = 33.33% C's 2 days work = 16.66% [100- (50+33.33)] Ratio of contribution of work of A, B and C = 50 : 33 1/3 : 16 2/3 = 3 : 2 : 1 A's total share = Rs. 1500 B's total share = Rs. 1000 C's total share = Rs. 500 A's one day's earning = Rs.300 B's one day's earning = Rs.200 C's one day's earning = Rs.250
