A and b can do a piece of work in 50 days and 40 days respectively. If together they earned rs 450/- by completing the work , then what is share of b
Answers
Lets say that A and B are working on a huge project, and instead each piece of work is part of the huge project they earn, and each part of the project is $1.
Every 200 days, B earns $5 and A earns $4. $5 + $9 = $9
So, every 200 days, the together earn $9 with B getting $5 and A getting $4.
Continue this: $9 x 50 = $450.
Therefore, B gets 5 x 50 = $250
Answer:
Rs.250
Step-by-step explanation:
A can complete the work in 50 days.
So, A's 1 day work = 1/50
B can complete the same work in 40 days.
So, B's 1 day work = 1/40
Ratio of their wages = 1/50 : 1/40
= 1/50 ÷ 1/40
= 1/50 × 40
= 4/5
= 4 : 5
Sum of the terms of ratio = 4 + 5
= 9
Total money earned by them by completing the work together = Rs. 450
Therefore, B's share = 450/9 × 5
= Rs. 250
Hope it helps :)
Anyways, I think this question is from class 8 Pearson.
