Given:

A complete a work in 15 days.

B complete a work in 12 days. 

C complete a work in 20 days.

Concept Used:

Work done = Efficiency × Time

Calculation:

A’s 1 day’s work = 1/15

B’s 1 day’s work = 1/12

C’s 1 day’s work = 1/20

Ratio of their wages = A : B : C = 1/15 : 1/12 : 1/20 = 4 : 5 : 3

A's earning = 45000 × 4/12 = 15000

B's earning = 45000 × 5/12 = 18750

C's earning = 45000 × 3/12 = 11250

∴ The earnings of A, B and C is Rs. 15000, Rs 18750, Rs.11250

 

Total Work = LCM of days = 60

Efficiency of A = 60/15 = 4

Efficiency of B = 60/12 = 5

Efficiency of C = 60/20 = 3

 

Ratio of their wages = A : B : C = 4 : 5 : 3

A's earning = 45000 × 4/12 = 15000

B's earning = 45000 × 5/12 = 18750

C's earning = 45000 × 3/12 = 11250

∴ The earnings of A, B and C is Rs. 15000, Rs 18750, Rs.11250
