Given:

Divyanshu and Manish can do the work in 75/8 days

Calculation:

Let the time taken by Manish to do the work be x days

∴ (1/25) + (1/x) = 8/75

⇒ 1/x = (8/75) – (1/25)

⇒ 1/x = (8 – 3)/75 = 5/75 or 1/15

⇒ x = 15

∴ Manish can do the work in 15 days

Shubhanshu is 50% more efficient than Manish

⇒ Time taken by Shubhanshu = 15 × (100/150) = 10 days

Gurpreet takes twice the time that of Shubhanshu

⇒ Time taken by Gurpreet = 10 × 2 = 20 days

∴ Ratio of time taken by Divyanshu, Manish, Shubhanshu and Gurpreet = 25 ∶ 15 ∶ 10 ∶ 20 = 5 ∶ 3 ∶ 2 ∶ 4      ----(LCM = 60)

⇒  Ratio of there efficiencies = 12 ∶ 20 ∶ 30 ∶ 15      

∴ Wage received by Gurpreet and Shubhanshu together 

⇒ {(30 + 15)/77} × 1540 = Rs.900

∴ The wage received by Gurpreet and Shubhanshu together is Rs. 900
