A sum of money is sufficient to pay A’ s wages for 21 days and B’s wages for 28 days. The same money is sufficient to pay the wages of both for

Solution

the lcm of 21,28 = 84

lets assume amount of money to be 84 units

wage of A per day = $$\frac{84}{21}$$ = 4 units

wage of B per day = $$\frac{84}{28}$$ = 3 units

wage per day of A+B = 4+3 = 7 units
