A alone can finish a work in 2 days, while B alone can finish it in 3 days. If they work together to finish it, then out of total wages of Rs.6000, what will be the 20% of A's share?
A) Rs.720
B) Rs.350
C) Rs.820
D) Rs.420
Correct answer:
A) Rs.720
Description for Correct answer:
A's 1 day's work = \( \Large \frac{1}{2} \)
B's 1 day's work = \( \Large \frac{1}{3} \)
A's share : B's share = \( \Large \frac{1}{2} \) : \( \Large \frac{1}{3} \)
= \( \Large \frac{3}{6} \) : \( \Large \frac{2}{6} \) = 3 : 2
A's share = \( \Large \frac{3}{5} \times 6000 \) = Rs.3600
Therefore, 20% of A's share = \( \Large 3600 \times \frac{20}{100} \) = Rs.720
