A alone can do a work in 6 days and Balone in 8 days. A and B undertook to do it for Rs.3200.With help of C, they completed the work in 3 days. How much is to be paid to C ?
Answers
1/3 - (1/6+1/8) = 1/3 - 7/24 = 1/24 A wage : B wage : C wage = 1/6:1/8:1/24 = 4:3:1 So the wages can be calculated easily (4*400:3*400:1*400) which is equal to (1600:1200:400) if we add it, it would give us the total amount if 3200.
Given :- A alone can do a piece of work in 6 days and B alone in 8 days. A and B undertook to do it for Rs. 3200. With the help of C, they completed the work in 3 days.
To Find :- How much is to be paid to C ?
Solution :-
→ LCM of 6 , 8 and 3 = 24 units = Let total work .
so,
→ Efficiency of A = Total work / days = 24/6 = 4 units/day.
→ Efficiency of B = Total work / days = 24/8 = 3 units/day.
→ Efficiency of (A+B+C) = Total work / days = 24/3 = 8 units/day.
then,
→ Efficiency of C = Efficiency of (A+B+C) - Efficiency of A - Efficiency of B = 8 - 4 - 3 = 8 - 7 = 1 units/day.
we can conclude that,
The payment was given in the ratio of their Efficiency .
therefore,
→ C received = (1/8) * 3200 = Rs.400 (Ans.)
Hence, Rs.400 is paid to C .
