Q:

A and B can do a piece of work for Rs 1540. Find the difference between the wages of C and B for the same work If A can do the work in 12 days and B can do the same work in 8 days and with the help of C, A and B can do the same work in 2 days?

A) 980 B) 1232
C) 810 D) 1121
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 1232

Explanation:

From the given data,


                       Day      Capacity

A              ->    12          2

B              ->     8           3             2

A + B + C ->     2            12

=> Capacity of C = 12 - 5 = 7

Ratio of capacity of A : B : C = 2 : 3 : 7

Difference of wages of C & B = 4/5 x 1540

= 4 x 308 = Rs. 1232
