A, B and C are employed to do a piece of work for ₹ 529. A and B together are supposed to do $\frac{19}{23}$ of the work and B and C together $\frac{8}{23}$ of the work. What amount should A be paid ?
(a)₹ 315
(b)₹ 345
(c)₹ 355
(d)₹ 375
Answer
Answer (as printed): B
Explanation
Work done by A $=1-\frac{8}{23}=\frac{15}{23}$. $\therefore$ A : (B+C) $=\frac{15}{23}:\frac{8}{23}=15:8$. So, A's share $=₹\left(\frac{15}{23} \times 529\right)=₹345$.
