Question

Anita and Bashir undertook a project worth Rs. 54000. Anita alone can do the work in 10 days. They work together for 3 days. After 3 days, Bashir works alone for 3 days and Anita completes the remaining work in 3 more days. What is the share of Bashir in the earnings?

1. Rs. 18400
2. Rs. 21600
3. Rs. 20000
4. Rs. 19600
5. Rs. 32400

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 2 : Rs. 21600

Calculations:

Anita can do 10% of work in a day.

Anita has worked 6 days in total.

Similarly, Bashir has also worked for 6 days.

Anita completed 60% of work in 6 days and Bashir did 40% in 6 days.

∴ Efficiency of Anita and Bashir = 6 : 4

∴ Bashir’s share = 4/10 × 54000

⇒ Rs. 21600

The share of Bashir in the earnings is Rs. 21,600.
