Correct Answer: Rs. 50


Solution : Given:
A and B undertake a piece of work for Rs. 250.
A's 1 day's work = $\frac{1}{5}$
B's 1 day's work = $\frac{1}{15}$
(A + B + C)'s 1 day's work = $\frac{1}{3}$
So, C's 1 day's work = $\frac{1}{3}-(\frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{15})=\frac{1}{3}-\frac{4}{15}=\frac{1}{15}$
The ratio of efficiencies by A, B, C is $\frac{1}{5}:\frac{1}{15}:\frac{1}{15}=3:1:1$
So, C's amount $=\frac{1}{3+1+1}×250=50$
Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 50.
