... Or, to look at it another way, what fraction of the job does 'C' contribute over the entire 3 days?

i.e.

3*(1/6)+3*(1/8)+X=1
X=The fraction of the entire job attributable to 'C'

Get it?

 

1/6+1/8+x=1/3
x=1/3-1/8-1/6
x=1/12

 

Days required for both workers acting simultaneously to complete the job = 1/ ([the fraction of the work completed by 'A' per day] + [the fraction of the work completed by 'B' per day])

is there any other method also?
just for knowlege!

 

A alone can do a piece of work in 6 days and B alone in 8 days. A and B undertook to do it for Rs. 3200. With the help of C, they completed the work in 3 days. How much is to be paid to C?

1/6+1/8+x=1/3
X= the fraction of the job contributed by 'C' daily...
1/6+1/8+x=1/3
x=1/3-1/8-1/6
x=1/12

C=12 days
now??

 

x=1/3-1/8-1/6
x=1/12

Rethink that!

 

x=1/3-1/8-1/6
x=(8-3-4)/24
x=1/24
24days

 

x=1/3-1/8-1/6
x=(8-3-4)/24
x=1/24
24days

Not quite! You've determined that 'C' does 1/24 of the work in 1 day -- Hence 'he' earns (1/24)*3200 Rupees per day --- What will his total earnings be?

 

A and B undertook to do it for Rs. 3200.

it was for A B i believe.

 

...How much is to be paid to C?

 

A alone can do a piece of work in 6 days and B alone in 8 days. A and B undertook to do it for Rs. 3200. With the help of C, they completed the work in 3 days. How much is to be paid to C?

A=6 =1/6
B=8 =1/8
C=24 =1/24

A and B undertook to do it for Rs. 3200.
per day or for total work?

 

A=6 =1/6
B=8 =1/8
C=24 =1/24

A and B undertook to do it for Rs. 3200.
per day or for total work?

In other words the 3,200 Rupees are to be apportioned among the workers as per their respective labor contributions...

 

So... If 'C' earns 133+1/3 Rupees per day how much does he earn for his part of the entire job???

Time for me to sign off -- see you next week

Please work on concentration! Distraction is the bane of scholarship! When studying it is imperative that you remain focused on your studies -- and nothing else!

I hope to find you better focused next week!

HOW you did this

 

HOW you did this

Did you see these posts?

Given that:
1/6+1/8+x=1/3
X= the fraction of the job contributed by 'C' daily...

You've determined that 'C' does 1/24 of the work in 1 day -- Hence 'he' earns (1/24)*3200 Rupees per day --- What will his total earnings be?

Had you been paying attention instead of larking about the site and taking time-outs you might have better followed the lessons!

Again, I hope to find you in a better focused frame of mind next week!

is the total paid will be Rs. 3200?
then (1/24)*3200 Rupees per day=133

So... If 'C' earns 133+1/3 Rupees per day how much does he earn for his part of the entire job???

133+1/3 why to add 1/3 here?

133+1/3 why to add 1/3 here?

Because (1/24)*3200 = 133+(1/3)

 

Because (1/24)*3200 = 133+(1/3)

how 1/3?

they completed the work in 3 days
133*24

 

(1/24)*3200 = 400/3 = 133+(1/3) ---- I don't know how else to say it!?!
