Kamal and Anil can dig a pond in 8 days and 14 days, respectively. If the total expense of digging is ₹ 4,400, then how much money will Anil earn?
Number of days required for Kamal to dig the pond = 8 days
$$\Rightarrow$$ Workdone by Kamal in 1 day = $$\frac{1}{8}$$ of the work
Number of days required for Anil to dig the pond = 14 days
$$\Rightarrow$$ Workdone by Anil in 1 day = $$\frac{1}{14}$$ of the work
Ratio of their efficiency = $$\frac{1}{8}:\frac{1}{14}$$ = 14 : 8
Total expense of digging = ₹ 4,400
Money that can be earned by Anil = $$\frac{8}{14+8}\times4400$$ = ₹ 1600
Hence, the correct answer is Option B
