A and B together can complete a piece of work in 12 days. If A's daily wage is ₹500 and B's daily wage is ₹700, and they are paid in the ratio of work done, how much will B receive if the total payment for the work is ₹14,400?

Question

Accepted Answer

Step 1: A and B work together for 12 days to complete the work. Step 2: A's daily wage = ₹500, B's daily wage = ₹700. Step 3: Work is paid in the ratio of daily wages (since both work for same duration). Ratio of payment = A's wage : B's wage = 500 : 700 = 5 : 7. Step 4: Total parts = 5 + 7 = 12. Step 5: B's share = (7/12) × 14,400 = 7 × 1,200 = ₹8,400. Therefore, B will receive ₹8,400.
