The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will calculate the daily wages of A, B, and C based on the work they completed. ### Step 1: Determine the total work We know that A can complete the work in 10 days and B can complete it in 15 days. To find a common measure of work, we can use the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of their working days. - LCM of 10 and 15 = 30 units of work. ### Step 2: Calculate the work done by A and B in one day - A's work rate = Total work / Days taken by A = 30 units / 10 days = 3 units per day. - B's work rate = Total work / Days taken by B = 30 units / 15 days = 2 units per day. ### Step 3: Calculate the work done by A and B in 5 days - Work done by A in 5 days = 5 days × 3 units/day = 15 units. - Work done by B in 5 days = 5 days × 2 units/day = 10 units. ### Step 4: Calculate the total work done by A and B together - Total work done by A and B in 5 days = Work done by A + Work done by B = 15 units + 10 units = 25 units. ### Step 5: Calculate the remaining work - Remaining work = Total work - Work done by A and B = 30 units - 25 units = 5 units. ### Step 6: Determine how much work C does C finishes the remaining 5 units of work in 2 days. Therefore, C's work rate can be calculated as: - C's work rate = Remaining work / Days taken by C = 5 units / 2 days = 2.5 units per day. ### Step 7: Calculate the ratio of work done by A, B, and C - A's work = 15 units - B's work = 10 units - C's work = 5 units - The ratio of work done = A : B : C = 15 : 10 : 5 = 3 : 2 : 1. ### Step 8: Calculate the total parts of work - Total parts = 3 + 2 + 1 = 6 parts. ### Step 9: Calculate the earnings per part - Total wages = Rs. 3000. - Earnings per part = Total wages / Total parts = 3000 / 6 = Rs. 500. ### Step 10: Calculate the earnings of A, B, and C - A's earnings = 3 parts × Rs. 500 = Rs. 1500. - B's earnings = 2 parts × Rs. 500 = Rs. 1000. - C's earnings = 1 part × Rs. 500 = Rs. 500. ### Step 11: Calculate the daily wages of A, B, and C - Daily wages of A = Total earnings of A / Days worked by A = 1500 / 5 = Rs. 300. - Daily wages of B = Total earnings of B / Days worked by B = 1000 / 5 = Rs. 200. - Daily wages of C = Total earnings of C / Days worked by C = 500 / 2 = Rs. 250. ### Final Answer - Daily wages of A = Rs. 300 - Daily wages of B = Rs. 200 - Daily wages of C = Rs. 250
