Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : Rs 900

Given:

Shaurya can do a piece of work in 15 days.

Shreya can do a piece of work in 20 days.

Total earning = Rs 2100

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 Shaurya = 1/15

1 day work of Shreya = 1/20

Ratio of their work = 1/15 ∶ 1/20      ---- (1)

Take L.C.M. of 15, 20 and then multiply it with equation (1)

⇒ 60/15 ∶ 60/20

⇒ 4 ∶ 3

Ratio of their wages = 4 ∶ 3

Let Shaurya’s share is 4x, and Shreya’s share is 3x.

Shaurya’s share + Shreya’s share = 2100

⇒ 4x + 3x = 2100

⇒ 7x = 2100

⇒ x = 300

Shreya’s share = 3x

⇒ 3 × 300

⇒ 900

The share of Shreya is Rs 900.
