Explanation:
Correct Answer: $900
Explanation:
Correct Answer: $225, $150, $75
Explanation:
Correct Answer: ? 750
Explanation:
Work done by (P + Q) = 7/22
Work done by R = 1 - (7/ 22) = (22-7)/22 = 15/22
? (P + Q)'s share : R's share = (7/22) : (15/22) = 7 : 15
R's share = (15/22) x 1100 = 15 x 50 = ? 750
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

Explanation:
A can do a work in 12 days.
? Work done by A = 1/12
B can do a work in 16 days.

Ration of Work done by A : Ration of Work done by B = 4 : 3
A's shares = 2100 x 4/7 = 300 x 4 = ? 1200
B's share = 2100 x 3/7 = 300 x 3 = ? 900
