Question

alone can finish a piece of work in 10 days while B can alone do it in 15 days if they work together and finish it then out of total wages of 3000 A will get how much

Answer 1

Given A alone can do a piece of work in 10 days.

Then part of A's 1-day work = 1/10.

Given B alone can do a piece of work in 15 days.

Then part of B's 1-day work = 1/15.

Ratio of wages of A and B = 1/10: 1/15

                                            = 3:2.

Given that Total wages = 3000.

A's share = 3000 * 3/3 + 2

               = 3000 * 3/5

               = 1800.

B's share = 3000 * 2/3 + 2

                = 3000 * 2/5

                = 1200.


Therefore, A will get 1800 rupees.


Hope this helps!
