Question

a is thrice as good a workman as b and b is twice as good a workman as C . all three took up a job and received 1800 remuneration find the share of each

Answer 1

Answer:

a = 1080 ; b = 540 ; c = 180

Step-by-step explanation:

let the work done by each be 'a','b' and 'c'.

Therefore, a = 3b

b=3c

a = 3 (2c)

a = 6c

Therefore - 1800 = a + b + c

1800 = 6c + 3c + c

1800/10 = c

180 = c

a = 6c = 6 * 180 = 1080

b = 3c = 3 * 180 = 540
