Difficulty: Medium
Correct Answer: 300, 200, 250
Explanation:
Introduction / Context:
Wages proportional to work implies each person’s pay equals (their completed fraction of the job) times total wages. Daily wage equals that person’s pay divided by the number of days they worked.
Given Data / Assumptions:
Concept / Approach:
Use an LCM work-unit model. Let total job = 30 units. Then A = 3 units/day; B = 2 units/day. In 5 days together they do 25 units, leaving 5 units. C does 5 units in 2 days ⇒ 2.5 units/day. Split pay by units; then divide each person’s pay by their worked days to get daily wages.
Step-by-Step Solution:
Verification / Alternative check:
Daily wages reflect each one’s productivity and time; sums consistent with total Rs 3000.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Other triples do not honor the proportional split and days worked.
Common Pitfalls:
Splitting by time instead of work; forgetting to divide by days to get daily wages.
Final Answer:
300, 200, 250
