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 |

We can even do it like;
C's share for 3 days = (1/(4+3+1) * 3200),
= 1/8 * 3200,
= 400.
C's share for 3 days = (1/(4+3+1) * 3200),
= 1/8 * 3200,
= 400.

A can complete the work in 6 days means.
A = 3200/6 = 533.33.
B can complete the work in 8 days means.
B = 3200/8 = 400.
Now add A+B=933.3.
All can complete the work in 3days so multiply (A+B) with 3 now the answer is 2799. 899.
Now we can find the C value by substrating 2799.899 with 3200 which is approximately 400 so the value of C is 400.
A = 3200/6 = 533.33.
B can complete the work in 8 days means.
B = 3200/8 = 400.
Now add A+B=933.3.
All can complete the work in 3days so multiply (A+B) with 3 now the answer is 2799. 899.

3(1/6+1/8+1/x) = 1
=> 1/x = 1/24,
1/6:1/8:1/24= 4:3:1,
3200 * 1/8 = 400.
=> 1/x = 1/24,
1/6:1/8:1/24= 4:3:1,
3200 * 1/8 = 400.

A's one day work = 1/6,
B's one day work = 1/8,
A's 3 days wages = 3 days * 1/6 work per day * 3200rs i.e.,3 * (1/6) * 3200 = 1600rs
B's 3 days wages = 3 days * 1/8 work per day * 3200rs i.e.,3 * (1/8) * 3200 = 1200rs.
Now remaining money is 3200-(1600+1200) = 400rs is C's 3 days wages.
B's one day work = 1/8,
A's 3 days wages = 3 days * 1/6 work per day * 3200rs i.e.,3 * (1/6) * 3200 = 1600rs
B's 3 days wages = 3 days * 1/8 work per day * 3200rs i.e.,3 * (1/8) * 3200 = 1200rs.
Now remaining money is 3200-(1600+1200) = 400rs is C's 3 days wages.

Wage will depend on the rate of work done by anyone so,
A's rate: 4
B's rate: 3
C's rate: 1.
Total Wage : 3200.
Wage per rate : 3200/8 = 400.
So
A's wage = 400*4,
B's wage = 400 * 3,
C's wage = 400 * 1.
A's rate: 4
B's rate: 3
C's rate: 1.
Total Wage : 3200.
Wage per rate : 3200/8 = 400.
So
A's wage = 400*4,
B's wage = 400 * 3,
C's wage = 400 * 1.

Ratio = 4:3:1.
4x3x + x = 3200.
8x = 3200,
X = 400,
C's share = 400.
4x3x + x = 3200.
8x = 3200,
X = 400,
C's share = 400.

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.
