A can do a piece of work in 8 days
⇒ A = 1/8 rupees
B can do the same piece of work in 12 days.
⇒ B = 1/12 rupees
Therefore, the ratio is given as,
A : B = 1/8 : 1/12
⇒ A : B = 3 : 2
∴ A + B = 3 + 2 =5
⇒ A = 3/5
⇒ B = 2/5
Combined wages of A's and B's work is Rs. 200
A's share = 3/5 × 200 = 120
B's share = 2/5 × 200 = 80
Therefore, the A's share of the wages will be Rs. 120
Therefore, the B's share of the wages will be Rs. 80
Verification:
A's share + B's share = Rs. 200
Rs. 120 + Rs. 80 = Rs. 200
