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. |
