Let 1st person be X and 2nd person be Y.
Then, X's 1 day's work = 1/26
Y's 1 day's work = 1/39
X's share : Y's share
= 1/26 : 1/39 = 3/78 : 2/78 = 3 : 2Correct Option: D
Let 1st person be X and 2nd person be Y.
Then, X's 1 day's work = 1/26
Y's 1 day's work = 1/39
X's share : Y's share
= 1/26 : 1/39 = 3/78 : 2/78 = 3 : 2
Difference of ratio = 3 - 2 = 1
∴ Required percentage = (1/2) x 100% = 50%
∴ 1 st person's wages is 50 % more than the 2nd person's wages.

A's 1 day's work = 1/3
B's 1 day's work = 1/4
A's share : B's share
= (1/3) : (1/4) = (4/12) : (3/12)
= 4 : 3Correct Option: D
A's 1 day's work = 1/3
B's 1 day's work = 1/4
A's share : B's share
= (1/3) : (1/4) = (4/12) : (3/12)
= 4 : 3
A's share = (4/7) x 2800
= 4 x 400
= ₹ 1600
