Answer» Correct Answer - Option 5 : Rs.720 Given: P's 1 day's work = 1/10 Q's 1 day's work = 1/40 (P + Q)'s 2 days work = 1/10 + 1/40 = 1/8 (P + Q)'s 4 days work = 2 × 1/8 = 1/4 Similarly, (P + Q)'s 16 days work = 8 × 1/8 = 1 Ratio of their work done = 8/10 : 8/40 = 4/5 : 1/5 = 4 : 1 ∴ Profit share of P = 4/5 × 900 = Rs.720 |
