P takes 10 days and Q takes 24 days to complete a work. With the help of R, they all work together and finish it in 6 days. Find the payment they receive out of a total remuneration of Rs.1000.
P = 10 days
Q= 24 days
P+Q+R = 6 days
Total work = lcm (10,24,6)= 120 days
P's effiency = $$120\div10$$ =12
Q's effiency = $$120\div24$$ =5
(P+Q+R)'s effiency = $$120\div6$$ = 20
to find out R's effi =Â (P+Q+R)'s effiency -P's effiency-Q's effiency = 20 -12-5 = 3
P'wage = $$\frac{tot wage}{tot effi}P's effiency$$
      $$\frac{1000}{20}12= 600 Rs$$
Q'wage = $$\frac{tot wage}{tot effi}Q's effiency$$
$$\frac{1000}{20}5= 250 Rs$$
R'wage = $$\frac{tot wage}{tot effi}R's effiency$$
$$\frac{1000}{20}3= 150 Rs$$
