  • Options
  • A. 800, 1700
  • B. 900, 1200
  • C. 1200, 900
  • D. None of these

  • Correct Answer
  • 1200, 900 

    Explanation

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