A and B get a work to be done for Rs. 30960. A and B can finish the work in 18 days and 24 days respectively. But they need help to finish the work in 8 days so they called C. Find C’s salary?
Time taken by A = 18 days
Time taken by B = 24 days
Time taken by A, B and C = 8 days
Let Total work = LCM of 18, 24 and 8 = 72 units
Efficiency of A = 72/18 = 4 units/day
Efficiency of B = 72/24 = 3 units/day
Efficiency of A, B and C together = 72/8 = 9 units/day
Efficiency of C = Total efficiency - Efficiency of (A + B)
Efficiency of C = 9 - (4 + 3) = 9 - 7 = 2 units/day
Work done by C = 2 × 8 = 16 units
For 72 units they get = Rs. 30960
1 unit = Rs. 430
∴ C’s salary = 16 × 430 = Rs. 6880
