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. |
| 24 |

I agree with siddharth, either the 3 should be removed or they should mention that A,B,C charge Rs 3200 "PER DAY"

A efficiency 16.66.
B efficiency 12.50.
So total work of A+B is 29.16 remaining 70.84.
So 70.84/3 = 24(C efficency )
B efficiency 12.50.
So total work of A+B is 29.16 remaining 70.84.
So 70.84/3 = 24(C efficency )

1/6 : 1/8 : 1/24 and ratio 4:3:1.
Answer above says highest number is 24 so multiply all by 24... is that the logic?

4:3:1.
C share will be simply as already we have count for 3 days work.
1/4+3+1*32000 = 1/8*3200 = 400.

I think this is a wrong question. In it the information is not given that for how many days A and B are given 3200?

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.
