Question

A alone can finish a work in 10 days and B alone can do it in 15 days. If they work together and finish, then out of a total wages of Rs.75. A will get:___________?

Answer 1

A. 35 Rs.
B. 40 Rs.
C. 45 Rs.
D. None of these

Ratio of time taken by A and B= 10 : 15 = 2 : 3
Ratio of work done in the same time = 3:2, So, the money is to be divided among A and B in the ratio 3 : 2
A’s share = Rs. [75×3/5] = Rs.45.

Correct Answer: C. 45 Rs. ✔
