A can do a piece of work in 10 days, B in 15 days. They work together for 5 days, the rest of the work is finished by C in two more days. If they get Rs. 3000 as wages for the whole work, what are the daily wages of A, B and C respectively (in Rs):

200, 250, 300
300, 200, 250
200, 300, 400
None of these

Correct Answer: 300, 200, 250

Explanation:

A's 5 days work = 50%

B's 5 days work = 33.33%

C's 2 days work = 16.66% [100- (50+33.33)]

Ratio of contribution of work of A, B and C = $50 : 33 \frac{1}{3} : 16 \frac{2}{3}$ = 3 : 2 : 1

A's total share = Rs. 1500

B's total share = Rs. 1000

C's total share = Rs. 500

A's one day's earning = Rs.300

B's one day's earning = Rs.200

C's one day's earning = Rs.250
