  • Question
  • A alone can do a piece of work in 3 days, while B alone can do the same work in 2 days. If they work together to complete the work, their total wages is fixed ? 225. Find the share of A.


  • Options
  • A. ? 90
  • B. ? 75
  • C. ? 95
  • D. ? 65

  • Correct Answer
  • ? 90 

    Explanation

    A's 1 day's work = 1/3
    B's 1 day's work = 1/2
    A's share : B's share = 1/3 : 1/2 = 2/6 : 3/6
    = 2 : 3
    Share of A = (2/5) x 225 = ? 90
