    respectively. They collaborate to complete the task and receive a combined payment of Rs. 592 for their efforts. Calculate the difference in the amount received by A and C together compared to what B receives alone.
    A Rs. 198 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs. 208 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs. 184 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs. 248 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Rs. 232 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let total amount of work be 180 units (LCM of 12, 15 and 18) Efficiency of A = 180/12 = 15 units per day Efficiency of B = 180/15 = 12 units per day Efficiency of C = 180/18 = 10 units per day Amount of money received by A and C together = 25/37 × 592 = Rs. 400 Amount received by B = 592 – 400 = Rs. 192 Desired difference = 400 – 192 = Rs. 208
