X can construct a wall in 2 days. Y can construct it in 3 days and Z can construct it in 4 days. If they construct the wall, working together and receive an amount of Rs. 11700, then find the share of Y.

A

Rs. 3900

B

Rs. 3800

C

Rs. 3700

D

Rs. 3600

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

X's 1 day work = `(1)/(2)`
Y's 1 day work = `(1)/(3)`
Z's 1 day work = `(1)/(4)`
Ratio of shares of X, Y, and Z is equal to ratio of their capacitites, i.e., `(1)/(3): (1)/(2): (1)/(4),` i.e., 6:4:3.
Hence, the correct option is (d).
