Given, A, B and C are employed to do a work for Rs. 22960. A and C together finished 23/41 of the work and B and C together finished 19/41 of the work.
Let the part of work done by A be ‘a’, by B be ‘b’ and by C be ‘c’
Thus, a + c = 23/41 and b + c = 19/41
Thus part of work completed by b = 1 – 23/41 = 18/41
∴ part of work completed by c = 19/41 – 18/41 = 1/41
Wage of C = (1/41) × 22960 = Rs. 560
