Correct Answer: ? 150
Explanation:
According to the question.
1/A + 1/B + 1/C= 1/3 ? 1/8 + 1/6 + 1/C = 1/3
? 1/C = 1/3 - (1/8 + 1/6) = 1/24
? Ratio in share of A, B and C
= (1/8) : (1/6) : (1/24)
= (3/24) : (4/24) : (1/24)
= 3 : 4 : 1
? C's share = 1 / 3 + 4 + 1 x 1200 = ? 150
Correct Answer: ? 600
Explanation:
Ratio of the wages of A, B and C = 5 : 6 : 4
A's share : B's share : C ' share
= (6 x 5) : (4 x 6) : (9 x 4)
=30 : 24 : 36 = 5 : 4 : 6
? A's share = (5/15) x 1800 = ? 600
Correct Answer: ? 900
Explanation:
1 day's work of Amit = 1/12
1 day's work of Vipul = 1/16
1 day's work of Kapil = 1/24
Amit's share : Vipul's share : Kapil's share
= (1/12) : (1/16) : (1/24) = 4/48 : 3/48 : 2/48 = 4 : 3 : 2
Now, Vipul's share = (3/9) x 2700
=3 x 300 = ? 900
Correct Answer: 12 days
Explanation:
A's 1 day's work = 1/21
B's day's work = 1/28
? Same money is sufficient to pay the wages of both for
= 1 / [(1/21) + (1/28)] = (21 x 28) / (21 + 28)
= (21 x 28) / 49
= 3 x 4 = 12 days
Correct Answer: ? 80
Explanation:
Vandana's 1 day's work = 1/10
(vandana + Ruchi)'s 1 day work =1/6
? Ruchi's 1 day's work
= 1/6 - 1/10 = (10 - 6)/ (6 x 10) = 4 / 60 = 1/15
? Vandana's share : Ruchi's share
= 1/10 : 1/15 = 3/30 : 2/30 = 3 : 2
Ruchi's share = 2/5 x 200 = ? 80
