Work Efficiency of A and B- A can complete the work in 10 days.
- B can complete the work in 15 days.
Calculation of Work Done in One Day- A's work in one day = 1/10
- B's work in one day = 1/15
Combined Work of A and B- Together, A and B can complete:
- (1/10 + 1/15) work in one day
- Finding a common denominator (30):
- A's work = 3/30
- B's work = 2/30
- Combined work per day:
- (3/30 + 2/30) = 5/30 = 1/6
Work Done in 2 Days- In 2 days, A and B together complete:
- 2 * (1/6) = 1/3 of the work
Remaining Work- Remaining work after 2 days:
Work Done by B Alone- B will complete the remaining 2/3 of the work:
- Days required for B to finish 2/3 work:
- Time = (2/3) / (1/15) = 10 days
Share of Earnings- Total work completion = 2 days (A & B) + 10 days (B) = 12 days.
- Earnings distribution:
- A's share = 2/12 = 1/6 of Rs. 250 = Rs. 41.67
- B's share = 10/12 = 5/6 of Rs. 250 = Rs. 208.33
Final Share of B- Thus, B's share is Rs. 208.33.
