Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : 20,000 Given: P can do a piece of work = 30 days Q can do a piece of work = 15 days Contracted to complete the work = Rs. 60,000 Concept used: Total work = LCM Divide money according to the ratio of efficiency Formula used: Efficiency = Work/Time Calculations: Total work = LCM = 30
Ratio of efficiency = P ∶ Q = 1 ∶ 2 P’s share = (60,000/3) × 1 = 20,000 ∴ P’s share is Rs. 20,000 |
