View Answer

Correct choice: C

Explanation:

Efficiency of kaushalya = 5% Efficiency of kaikeyi = 4% Thus, in 10 days working together they will complete only 90% of the work. [(5+4)*10] =90 Hence, the remaining work will surely done by sumitra, which is 10%. Thus, sumitra will get 10% of Rs. 700, which is Rs.70
