A, B and C, working alone can do a piece of work in 15, 30 and 75 days respectively. They work together and get ₹ 1615 for completing the work. Whatis the difference in shares of A and C?
A = 15 days
B = 30 days
C = 75 days
Total work = lcm (15,30,75)
= 150
A's efficency =10
B's efficency=5
C's efficency= 2
The share of each person is decided by the fraction of work done.
A's share = $$\dfrac{e_A \times T}{T(e_A +e_B+e_C)} \times 1615$$
Since everyone works for an equal number of days we can cancel T.
A's share = $$\dfrac{10 }{17} \times 1615$$
C's share = $$\dfrac{2}{17} \times 1615$$
Difference in shares Of A and C =$$\dfrac{8}{17}\times1615$$
= Rs 760
