c₹ 3,500, ₹ 2,100
d₹ 3,300, ₹ 2,300
eNone of the above / More than one of the above
Explanation
A takes 11 days to finish work and B takes 17 days to complete the same work so- Efficiency A (11) ———— 17 Total work (LCM of 11, 17) = 187 B (17) ———— 11 As we know that total remuneration of 5600 will be distributed between them in the ratio of their efficiency. Now, (17 + 11) → 5600 28 → 5600 1 → 200 17 → 3400 11 → 2200 The share of A of A & B are ₹ 3400 00 & ₹ 2200 respectively.
