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 |

1/24 is the work done by C in one day. For three days "3" is used.

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

The highest among the denominators is 24..so multiply the ratios by 24..
24/6:24/8:24/24
4:3:1
24/6:24/8:24/24
4:3:1

It is simple, A's share is (4/8)*3200
B's share is (3/8)*3200
C's share is (1/8)*3200
B's share is (3/8)*3200
C's share is (1/8)*3200
