A alone can do a piece of work in 6 days and B alone in 8 days. A and B undertook to do it for Rs. 3200. With the help of C, they completed the work in 3 days. How much is to be paid to C

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

(A+B)'s 1 day work = 1/4

A's 1 day work = 1/12

B's 1 day work =
\begin{aligned}
\left( \frac{1}{4} - \frac{1}{12} \right) \\
= \frac{3-1}{12} \\
= \frac{1}{6} \\
\end{aligned}

So B alone can complete the work in 6 days

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Suppose B takes x dáys to do the work.
As per question A will take
\begin{aligned}
2* \frac{3}{4} * x = \frac{3x}{2}days
\end{aligned}

(A+B)s 1 days work= 1/18
1/x + 2/3x = 1/18 or x = 30 days

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Work done by A in 20 days = 80/100 = 8/10 = 4/5

Work done by A in 1 day = (4/5) / 20 = 4/100 = 1/25 --- (1)

Work done by A and B in 3 days = 20/100 = 1/5 (Because remaining 20% is done in 3 days by A and B)

Work done by A and B in 1 day = 1/15 ---(2)

Work done by B in 1 day = 1/15 – 1/25 = 2/75

=> B can complete the work in 75/2 days = 37 (1/2) days

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

In this type of question, where we have one person work and together work done. Then we can easily get the other person work just by subtracting them. As,

Son's one day work =
\begin{aligned}
\left(\frac{1}{3}-\frac{1}{5} \right) \\
=\left(\frac{5-3}{15} \right) \\
= \frac{2}{15}
\end{aligned}

So son will do whole work in 15/2 days
which is =

\begin{aligned} 7\frac{1}{2}days \end{aligned}

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

B's 5 days work =
\begin{aligned}
\frac{1}{10}*5 = \frac{1}{2} \\
\text{Remaining work =} 1-\frac{1}{2} \\
= \frac{1}{2} \\

\text{A can finish work =}15*\frac{1}{2} \\
= 7.5 days

\end{aligned}
