Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : Rs 800

Given:

Rahul can do a piece of work in 10 days.

Abhishek can do a piece of work in 20 days.

Total earning = Rs 1200

Concept:

Wages are distributed in proportion to the work done and in inverse proportion to the time taken by the individual.

Calculation:              

1 day work of Rahul = 1/10

1 day work of Abhishek = 1/20

Ratio of their work = 1/10 ∶ 1/20      ---- (1)

Take L.C.M. of 10, 20 and then multiply it with equation (1)

⇒ 20/10 ∶ 20/20

⇒ 2 ∶ 1

Ratio of their wages = 2 ∶ 1

Let Rahul’s share is 2x, and Abhishek’s share is x.

Rahul’s share + Abhishek’s share = 1200

⇒ 2x + x = 1200

⇒ 3x = 1200

⇒ x = 400

Rahul’s share = 2x

⇒ 2 × 400

⇒ 800

The share of Rahul is Rs 800.
