A alone can do a piece of work in 6 days and B alone in 8 days. A and B undertook to do it for Rs. 3200. With the help of C, they completed the work in 3 days. How much is to be paid to C?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
| C's 1 day's work = | 1 | - |  |
1 | + | 1 |  |
= | 1 | - | 7 | = | 1 | . |
| 3 | 6 | 8 | 3 | 24 | 24 |
| A's wages : B's wages : C's wages = | 1 | : | 1 | : | 1 | = 4 : 3 : 1. |
| 6 | 8 | 24 |
 C's share (for 3 days) = Rs. |
|
3 x | 1 | x 3200 | |
= Rs. 400. |

A's SHARE =3/6*3200 = 1600.
B's SHARE =3/8*3200 = 1200.
TOTAL A & B =1600+1200 = 2800.
C's SHARE =3200-2800 = 400.
B's SHARE =3/8*3200 = 1200.
TOTAL A & B =1600+1200 = 2800.
C's SHARE =3200-2800 = 400.

3*1/24*3200.
How it come, normally we add all the ratio and the ratio is 4:3:1.
How I find the share of A and B?

A + B + C = 1/3.
A + B = 1/6 + 1/8 = 7/24,
C = 1/3 - 7/24 = 1/24,
C's share 3 days of work = 3 * 3200/24 = 400.
A + B = 1/6 + 1/8 = 7/24,
C = 1/3 - 7/24 = 1/24,
C's share 3 days of work = 3 * 3200/24 = 400.

If both a and b work together on the single piece than in how many days they will complete their work and how?

C's one day work=1/24.
so C's 3 days work is=1/8.
C will take 1/8 part of 3200 which is equal to 1/8*3200=400.
so C's 3 days work is=1/8.
C will take 1/8 part of 3200 which is equal to 1/8*3200=400.

A's 3day ways = (1/6)*3*3200 = 1600.
B's 3day ways = (1/8)*3*3200 = 1200.
C's 3day ways = 3200-(1600+1200).
B's 3day ways = (1/8)*3*3200 = 1200.
C's 3day ways = 3200-(1600+1200).

1/6+1/8+1/x= 1/3.
=> 1/x= 1/3- 1/6-1/8.
=> 1/x= 1/24,
=> x= 24.
4:3:1.
C's share = Rs. 400.
=> 1/x= 1/3- 1/6-1/8.
=> 1/x= 1/24,
=> x= 24.
4:3:1.
C's share = Rs. 400.

In the end, why we have multiplied 3200 with C's 3 day work whereas it is the salary of both A and B ?

A = 1/6 = [4]
B = 1/8 = [3]
A + B + C = 1/3 = [8]
L.c.m = 24
A = 4, B = 3 and C = 1
3200/8 = 1.
= 400.
B = 1/8 = [3]
A + B + C = 1/3 = [8]
L.c.m = 24
A = 4, B = 3 and C = 1
3200/8 = 1.
= 400.

Find the Ratio among the A, B, C.
Add the ratios = 4:3:1 = 8.
8-32000.
1-?
= 3200/8 = 400's wages.
Add the ratios = 4:3:1 = 8.
8-32000.
1-?
= 3200/8 = 400's wages.
