  • Question
  • Total wages for a work is ? 1280. A alone can do a piece of work in 8 days, while B alone can do it in 12 days. If A and B work on alternate days, then find the share of A.


  • Options
  • A. ? 800
  • B. ? 500
  • C. ? 600
  • D. ? 700

  • Correct Answer
  • ? 800 

    Explanation

    Work for 1 st 2 days = (1/8) + (1/12) = 5/24
    ? Work for 8 days = (5/24) x (8/2) = 5/6
    ? Remaining work = 1- (5/6) = (6 - 5) / 6 = 1/6
    On 9th day, A's work = 1/8

    Remaining work after 9 days = (1/6) - (1/8) = (4 - 3) / 24 = 1/24
    B will finish this work in (12 x 1)/24 = 1/2 day
    Clearly, A worked for 5 days from starting.

    ? Work done by A in 5 days = (1/8) x 5 = 5/8
    ? A's share = (5/8) x 1280 = 5 x 160 = ? 800
