Question

If Anand can do ¼th work in 3 days and Badal can do 1/6^th work in 4 days, how much will Anand get if both work together and are paid Rs. 3600 in all?

1. Rs 2500
2. Rs 2400
3. Rs 2000
4. Rs 1600
5. Rs 1200

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 2 : Rs 2400

Calculations:

Anand does 1/4^th work = 3 days

∴The whole work is done by Anand in = 3 × 4

⇒ 12 days

Badal does 1/6^th work = 4 days

∴The whole work is done by Badal in = 4 × 6

⇒ 24 days

∴Anand’s wages : Badal’s wages = Anand’s 1 day’s work : Badal’s 1 day’s work

⇒ 1/12 : 1/24

⇒ 24 : 12

⇒ 2 : 1

∴Anand’s share = 2/3 × 3600

⇒ 2 × 1200

⇒Rs. 2400

Anand will get Rs. 2400.
