Ramesh can do a work in 24 days. With the help of his friend Shyam, he can do the same work in 15 days. If they get Rs. 14240 for that work, what is the share of Shyam ?

Answer»

Rs. 5340



Ramesh's one day's work = 1/24 and (Ramesh + Shyam)'s one day's work = 1/15.
∴ Shyam's one day's work = 1/15 - 1/24
= 8-5/120 = 3/120= 1/40
ie Shyam ALONE can FINISH the work in 40 days
∴ Ramesh's SHARE : Shyam's share = 40 : 24
= 5 : 3
∴ Shyam's share = 14240/3 X 3 = 5340
