    2. 200 , 250 ,150
    3. 200 , 150 , 250
    4. 150 , 200 , 250

15
B's one day work =
1
20

C’s one day’s work = 1/5 - (1/15 + 1/20) = 5/60.
C's one day work =

Thus the ratio of efficiencies of A, B and C is 1/15 : 1/20 : 1/12 = 4 : 3 : 5
A ’s share =
4
× 600 = ₹ 200
12

B ’s share =

12

And C ’s share =
