The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will first determine the work done by A, B, and C, and then calculate their daily wages based on the total wages of ₹3000. ### Step 1: Determine the work rates of A and B - A can complete the work in 10 days. - B can complete the work in 15 days. To find their work rates: - Work rate of A = 1/10 (work done per day) - Work rate of B = 1/15 (work done per day) ### Step 2: Find the combined work rate of A and B - Combined work rate = Work rate of A + Work rate of B - Combined work rate = 1/10 + 1/15 To add these fractions, we need a common denominator: - The LCM of 10 and 15 is 30. - Work rate of A = 3/30 - Work rate of B = 2/30 So, - Combined work rate = (3 + 2)/30 = 5/30 = 1/6 ### Step 3: Calculate the work done by A and B in 5 days - Work done by A and B in 5 days = 5 days × Combined work rate - Work done = 5 × (1/6) = 5/6 of the total work ### Step 4: Determine the remaining work - Remaining work = Total work - Work done by A and B - Remaining work = 1 - 5/6 = 1/6 of the total work ### Step 5: Calculate the work rate of C - C finishes the remaining work in 2 days. - Work rate of C = Remaining work / Time taken by C - Work rate of C = (1/6) / 2 = 1/12 ### Step 6: Calculate the total work done by each worker - Work done by A in 5 days = 5 × (1/10) = 1/2 - Work done by B in 5 days = 5 × (1/15) = 1/3 - Work done by C in 2 days = 2 × (1/12) = 1/6 ### Step 7: Calculate the total work done - Total work = Work done by A + Work done by B + Work done by C - Total work = 1/2 + 1/3 + 1/6 Finding a common denominator (which is 6): - Total work = (3/6) + (2/6) + (1/6) = 6/6 = 1 (which confirms our calculations) ### Step 8: Calculate the ratio of work done by A, B, and C - Work done by A = 1/2 - Work done by B = 1/3 - Work done by C = 1/6 To express this in a ratio: - A : B : C = (1/2) : (1/3) : (1/6) Converting to a common denominator (6): - A : B : C = (3/6) : (2/6) : (1/6) = 3 : 2 : 1 ### Step 9: Calculate the wages based on the ratio - Total wages = ₹3000 - Total parts = 3 + 2 + 1 = 6 parts Now, calculate the value of each part: - Value of each part = Total wages / Total parts = 3000 / 6 = ₹500 ### Step 10: Calculate individual wages - Wages of A = 3 parts × ₹500 = ₹1500 - Wages of B = 2 parts × ₹500 = ₹1000 - Wages of C = 1 part × ₹500 = ₹500 ### Step 11: Calculate daily wages - Daily wages of A = ₹1500 / 5 days = ₹300 - Daily wages of B = ₹1000 / 5 days = ₹200 - Daily wages of C = ₹500 / 2 days = ₹250 ### Final Answer - Daily wages of A, B, and C are ₹300, ₹200, and ₹250 respectively. ---
