2. Rs 400
3. Rs 375
4. Rs 800

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 2 : Rs 400

Given:

Anil can complete a task = 6 days

Bhushan can complete a task = 8 days

Anil, Bhushan and Chaman can complete a task = 3 days

Work undertook the task = Rs. 3200

Formula used:

Work = Time × Efficiency

Calculation:

Anil one days work = 1/6 days

Bhushan one days work = 1/8 days

Chaman one days work = 1/3

⇒ 1/3 – (1/6 + 1/8)

⇒ 1/3 – 7/24

⇒ 1/24

Ratio of Anil, Bhushan and Chaman = 1/6 : 1/8 : 1/24

⇒ 4 : 3 : 1

Chaman's share = Rs. (1/8 × 3200)

⇒ Rs. 400

∴ Chaman's share in the earning is Rs. 400
