  • Question

  • Options
  • A. Ramesh = ? 100, Suresh = ? 300 and boy = ? 400
  • B. Ramesh = ? 200, Suresh = ? 200 and boy = ? 400
  • C. Ramesh = ? 400, Suresh = ? 300 and boy = ? 100
  • D. Ramesh = ? 300, Suresh = ? 400 and boy = ? 100

  • Correct Answer
  • Ramesh = ? 400, Suresh = ? 300 and boy = ? 100 

    Explanation

    Ramesh's 1 day's work = 1/12
    Suresh's 1 day's work = 1/16
    (Ramesh + Suresh)'s 1 day work = (1/12) + (1/16)
    = (16 + 12) / (12 x 16)
    = 28/192
    = 7/48

    Given that, (Ramesh + Suresh + Boy)'s
    1 day's work = 1/6
    ? Boy's 1 day's work = (1/6) - (7/48) = (8 - 7)/ 48 = 1/48
    ? Ramesh's share : Suresh's share : Boy's share = 1/12 : 1/16 : 1/48
    = (8/96) : (6/96) : (2/96)
    = 8 : 6 : 2
    = 4 : 3 : 1

    Let Ramesh's share be 4k , Suresh's share be 3k and boy's share be k.
    According to the question,
    4k + 3k + k = 800
    8k = 800
    ? k = 800/8 = 100

    ? Ramesh's share = 4k = 4 x 100 = ? 400
    Suresh's share = 3k = 3 x 100 = ? 300
    Boy's share = k = ? 100
