    days and 24 days, respectively. They started working together and worked till completion of the work for which they got Rs. 24000 as wage. Find the share of ‘B’ out of total wage.
    A Rs 6200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs 6500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs 8000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs 6800 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let total work = 24 units {LCM of (12 and 24)} Efficiency of ‘A’ = 24/12 = 2 units/day Efficiency of ‘B’ = 24/24 = 1 units/day Wages received by ‘A’ and ‘B’ will directly proportion to their efficiency. So share of ‘B’ = 24000 × (1/3) = Rs 8000
