A alone can do a piece of work in 3 days, while B alone can do the same work in 2 days. If they work together to complete the work, their total wages is fixed Rs.225. Find the share of A.
Correct Answer: Description for Correct answer:
A's 1 day's work = \( \Large \frac{1}{3} \)
B's 1 day's work = \( \Large \frac{1}{2} \)
A's share : B's share = \( \Large \frac{1}{3} \) : \( \Large \frac{1}{2} \)
= \( \Large \frac{2}{6} \) : \( \Large \frac{3}{6} \) = 2 : 3
Share of A = \( \Large \frac{2}{5} \times 225 \) = Rs.90
