The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the wages of A, B, and C based on their efficiencies in completing the work. Here’s a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Determine the total work The total work can be calculated using the least common multiple (LCM) of the days taken by A, B, and C to complete the work individually. - A can complete the work in 20 days. - B can complete the work in 25 days. - C can complete the work in 30 days. **LCM of 20, 25, and 30:** - The prime factorization is: - 20 = 2^2 * 5^1 - 25 = 5^2 - 30 = 2^1 * 3^1 * 5^1 - Taking the highest power of each prime: - 2^2 (from 20) - 3^1 (from 30) - 5^2 (from 25) Thus, LCM = 2^2 * 3^1 * 5^2 = 4 * 3 * 25 = 300. **Total work = 300 units.** ### Step 2: Calculate the efficiency of each worker Efficiency is calculated as the total work divided by the number of days taken by each worker. - Efficiency of A = Total Work / Days taken by A = 300 / 20 = 15 units/day. - Efficiency of B = Total Work / Days taken by B = 300 / 25 = 12 units/day. - Efficiency of C = Total Work / Days taken by C = 300 / 30 = 10 units/day. ### Step 3: Calculate the total efficiency Total efficiency of A, B, and C together is the sum of their individual efficiencies. Total Efficiency = Efficiency of A + Efficiency of B + Efficiency of C = 15 + 12 + 10 = 37 units/day. ### Step 4: Determine the value of each unit of work The total wages earned by A, B, and C together is Rs. 3700. To find the value of one unit of work: - Value of one unit = Total Wages / Total Efficiency = 3700 / 37 = Rs. 100. ### Step 5: Calculate the wages of A, B, and C Now, we can calculate the wages for each worker based on their efficiency. - Wages of A = Efficiency of A * Value of one unit = 15 * 100 = Rs. 1500. - Wages of B = Efficiency of B * Value of one unit = 12 * 100 = Rs. 1200. - Wages of C = Efficiency of C * Value of one unit = 10 * 100 = Rs. 1000. ### Final Wages - Wages of A = Rs. 1500 - Wages of B = Rs. 1200 - Wages of C = Rs. 1000
