    Question

    A can finish a task in 32 days, while B can complete the

    same task 8 days sooner than A. If they together earn a total of Rs. 1050 for the job, how much does A receive?
    A Rs. 600 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs. 450 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs. 750 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs. 900 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Time taken by ‘A’ to complete the work = 32 days Time taken by ‘B’ to complete the work = 32 – 8 = 24 days Ratio of efficiencies is inverse of number of days taken Therefore, ratio of efficiencies of ‘A’ to ‘B’ = 24:32 = 3:4 Wage received by ‘A’ = 1050 × (3/7) = Rs. 450
