P, Q, Rare employedto do a work forRs.5750. P and Q together finished$$\frac{19}{23}$$ of work AND Q and R together finished $$\frac{8}{23}$$Â of work. Wage of Q, in rupees, is
Given that P, Q & R are employed for a work of Rs.5750
i.e.., wages for P,Q & R is P+Q+R = 5750
Let's consider this total wages as x
Given that P and Q together finished$$\frac{19}{23}$$ of work
i.e.., wages paid for P & Q is P+Q =Â $$\frac{19}{23}$$x=4750 ----(1)
Also, Given that Q and R together finished $$\frac{8}{23}$$ of work
i.e.., wages paid for Q & R is Q+R =Â $$\frac{8}{23}$$x= 2000 ----- (2)
Adding equations (1) & (2), we get
=> P+Q+Q+R= 4750+2000
=> 5750+Q=6750
=> Q=1000
