Kaushalya can do a work in 20 days, while kaikeyi can do the same work in 25 days. They started the work jointly.Few days later Sumitra also joined them and thus all of them completed the whole work in 10 days. All of them were paid total Rs.700. What is the Share of Sumitra?

Correct Answer: Rs.70

Explanation:

Efficiency of kaushalya = 5%


Efficiency of kaikeyi  = 4%


Thus, in 10 days working together they will complete only 90% of the work.


          [(5+4)*10] =90


Hence, the remaining work will surely done by sumitra, which is 10%.


Thus, sumitra will get 10% of Rs. 700, which is Rs.70
