  • B. 1100 1100 2000
  • C. 1000 2000 1200
  • D. 2000 1200 1000

  • Correct Answer
  • 2000 1200 1000 

    Explanation

    A, B and C contract to do a work for ? 4200. A can do the work in 6 days, B in 10 days and C in 12 days.
    From given question, As we know that
    A can do the work in 6 days.
    A can do 1/6 work in one day.
    B can do the same work in 10 days.
    B can do 1/10 work in one day.
    C can do the same work in 12 days.
    C can do 1/12 work in one day.
    Work done shared by A : B : C = 1/6 : 1/10 : 1/12
    Multiply by 60, we will get,
    Work done shared by A : B : C = 10 : 6 : 5
    Let us assume ration variable is P.
    According to question,
    10P + 6P + 5P = 4200
    ? 21P = 4200
    ? P = 200
    A's share = 10P = 10 x 200 = ? 2000
    B's share = 6P = 6 x 200 = ? 1200,
    C's share = 5P = 5 x 200 = ? 1000
