Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven:
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
