GIVEN:-
Reenu can do a work in 15 days
Reenu and Meenu can do a work in 10 days
Total wages = Rs. 600
Calculation:-
Reenu finishes the work in 15 days
∴ Part of work done by Reenu in one day = 1/15
Working together they complete the work in 10 days.
⇒ Part of Work done by both in 1 day = 1/10
∴ Part of Work done by Meenu in 1 day = 1/10 – 1/15 = 1/30
The wages will be in ratio of their efficiency i.e.
Ratio of wages of Reenu : Meenu = 1/15 : 1/30 = 2 : 1
Share of Reenu = 600 × 2/3 = Rs 400
Share of Meenu = 600 – 400 = Rs 200
