Question 57

A and B can complete a piece of work in 15 days and 10 days respectively. They got a contract to complete the work for ₹35000. The share of B (in ₹) in the contracted money will be:

Solution

Let the total work be $$T$$

Work done by A in 1 day = $$\frac{\ T}{15}$$

Work done by B in 1 day = $$\frac{\ T}{10}$$

Ratio of their shares = $$\frac{\ T}{15}:\frac{\ T}{10}$$ $$= 10 : 15 = 2 : 3$$

Share of B $$=\frac{ 3}{5}\times35000 =21000$$
