Question

A alone can finish a piece of work in 10 days which B alone can do in 15 days. If they work together and finish it,then out of total wages of Rs.3000,A will get

Answer 1

efficiency of A and B = 1/2x:1/3x = 3x : 2x 

                                 total wages = 3000 rs = 5x

                                                therefore A : B = 1800: 1200



                                 
                           

Answer 2

Answer:

A will get 1800.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that A alone can finish a piece of work in 10 days.

The efficiency of A is $\frac{1}{10}$.

B alone can do in 15 days.

The efficiency of B is $\frac{1}{15}$.

The ratio of their efficiency is

$\frac{1}{10}:\frac{1}{15}$

Multiply both side by 30.

$3:2$

It means the wages are divide in 3:2.

Total wages is Rs. 3000.

$3000\times \frac{3}{5}=1800$

$3000\times \frac{2}{5}=1200$

Therefor, A will get 1800.
