Three men are employed to do a piece of work. They work respectively 8, 9 and 10 hours a day, receive the same hourly wage. After three days, each works an hour more and receives proportionately increased wages and at the end of three days from that time, the work is completed. The whole sum paid to them is Rs 45.60. How much of it should each receive?

A.	Rs 13.60, Rs 15.20, Rs 16.80	B.	Rs 10.60, Rs 9.20, Rs 7.80
C.	Rs 7.60, Rs 6.20, Rs 3.80	D.	Rs 12.60, Rs 9.20, Rs 8.80

Answer and Explanation

Answer:Rs 13.60, Rs 15.20, Rs 16.80

Explanation:
Total hours of each:
Man1 = 3*8 + 3*9 = 51
Man2 = 3*9 + 3*10 = 67
Man3 = 3*10 + 3*11 = 63
The wages should be shared in the ratio
51:57:63 = 17:19:21
Man1 receives (17/57)(45.60) = Rs 13.60
Man2 receives (19/57)(45.60) = Rs 15.20
Man3 receives (21/57)(45.60) = Rs 16.80
