A can do a piece of work in 12 days while B alone can do it in 15 days. With the help of C they can finish it in 5 days. If they are paid Rs. 960 for the whole work. How much money A gets ?

a) Rs. 480
b) Rs. 240
c) Rs. 320
d) Rs. 400

Answer: d
Explanation: (A + B)’s 1 day work
$$\eqalign{ & = \frac{1}{{12}} + \frac{1}{{15}} \cr & = \frac{{5 + 4}}{{60}} \cr & = \frac{9}{{60}} = \frac{3}{{20}} \cr} $$
(A + B + C)’s 1 day work = $$\frac{1}{5}$$
C’s 1 day work
$$\eqalign{ & = \frac{1}{5} – \frac{3}{{20}} \cr & = \frac{{4 – 3}}{{20}} \cr & = \frac{1}{{20}} \cr} $$
Ratio of their work
$$\eqalign{ & = \frac{1}{{12}}:\frac{1}{{15}}:\frac{1}{{20}} \cr & = 5:4:3 \cr} $$
$$\eqalign{ & {\text{A’s}}\,{\text{share}} = \frac{5}{{12}} \times 960 \cr & \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = {\text{Rs}}{\text{. }}400 \cr} $$
