Correct Answer: Rs. 1200


Solution : Total earnings = Rs. 4500
A alone can complete the work in = 10 days
∴ A’s 1 day’s work = $\frac{1}{10}$
B alone can complete the work in = 12 days
∴ B’s 1 day’s work = $\frac{1}{12}$
C alone can complete the work in = 15 days
∴ C’s 1 day’s work = $\frac{1}{15}$
∴ Ratio of work of A, B and C
= $\frac{1}{10}:\frac{1}{12}:\frac{1}{15}$
= $\frac{1}{10}×60:\frac{1}{12}×60:\frac{1}{15}×60$
= $6∶5∶4$
Total earnings = Rs. 4500
∴ Share of C = 4500 × $\frac{4}{6+5+4}$ = 4500 × $\frac{4}{15}$ = Rs. 1200
Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 1200.
