Answer : 1. "Rs. 320, Rs. 240 and Rs. 240"
Explanation :
Let's break down the problem step by step:
- A can complete the work in 15 days, so his daily work rate is 1/15 of the work per day.
- B can complete the work in 20 days, so his daily work rate is 1/20 of the work per day.
- A and B work together for 6 days. In these 6 days, their combined work rate is (1/15 + 1/20) = (4/60 + 3/60) = 7/60 of the work per day.
- In 6 days, they complete (6 * 7/60) = 42/60 of the work, which simplifies to 7/10 of the work.
Now, let C complete the remaining 3/10 of the work in 6 days. We can calculate C's daily work rate:
C's daily work rate = Work done by C in 6 days / 6 C's daily work rate = (3/10) / 6 C's daily work rate = 1/20 of the work per day.
Now, let's calculate the total amount earned by each worker:
A's share: A worked for 6 days at a rate of 1/15 of the work per day, so he completed (6 * 1/15) = 2/5 of the work. A's share of the money is (2/5) * Rs 800 = Rs 320.
B's share: B worked for 6 days at a rate of 1/20 of the work per day, so he completed (6 * 1/20) = 3/10 of the work. B's share of the money is (3/10) * Rs 800 = Rs 240.
C's share: C worked for 6 days at a rate of 1/20 of the work per day, so he completed (6 * 1/20) = 3/10 of the work. C's share of the money is (3/10) * Rs 800 = Rs 240.
Now, to check if the total amount is correct, you can add up their individual shares:
Rs 320 (A) + Rs 240 (B) + Rs 240 (C) = Rs 800
So, they should divide the money as follows:
- A gets Rs 320.
- B gets Rs 240.
- C gets Rs 240.
