A, B and C undertake to do a piece of work for Rs. 529. If A and B working together do

{19}/{23}

and B and C working together do

8/{23}

work, how should the money be divided among them?

Solution:

The part of work is done by B =

{19}/{23}+8/{23}-1

4/{23}

The part of work is done by A =

{19}/{23}-4/{23}

{15}/{23}

The part of work is done by C =

8/{23}-4/{23}

4/{23}

Hence, share of A =

{15}/{23} ×

Rs. 529 = Rs. 345
share of B =

4/{23}

× Rs. 529 = Rs. 92
share of C =

4/{23}

× Rs. 529 = Rs. 92
So, Their shares are Rs. 345, Rs. 92 and Rs. 92.
