Answer 2

Amount that John and Ramesh got Rs. 3000 and Rs. 3500 respectively.:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of days John worked = 7 days

Number of days Ramesh worked = 6 days

So, the ratio of days of John to Ramesh = 7:6

As we know the ratio of efficiency of John and Ramesh is reciprocal of ratio of days of John to Ramesh.

So, Ratio of efficiency of John and Ramesh = 6:7

Total amount as wages = RS. 6500

So, Amount earned by John is given by

$\dfrac{6}{13}\times 6500\\\\=6\times 500\\\\=Rs.\ 3000$

Amount earned by Ramesh is given by

$\dfrac{7}{13}\times 6500\\\\=7\times 500\\\\=Rs.\ 3500$

Hence, Amount John and Ramesh got Rs. 3000 and Rs. 3500 respectively.
