The first man alone can complete this work in 7 days. The second man alone can do this work in 8 days. If they are working together to complete this work in 3 days and also taking help of a boy, then how should the money be divided?
-
- $600, $500, $300
- $600, $525, $275
- $600, $550, $250
- $500, $525, $375
Correct Option: B
As we know that ,
Given :- Total money = $1400
Wages of the first man for 3 days = work done by him in 3 days × $1400
| Wages of the first man for 3 days = | 3 | × 1400 = $600 |
| 7 |
Wages of second man for 3 days = work done by him in 3 days × $1400
| Wages of second man for 3 days = | 3 | × 1400 = $525 |
| 8 |
∴ Wages of the boy for 3 days = $1400 - $( 600 + 525 ) = $275
∴ Their shares will be $600, $525 and $275, respectively.
