Correct Answer: INR 750
Solution : Given: Ashok alone can do the work in 8 days. Anil alone can do the work in 12 days. LCM of (8, 12) = 24 Let the total work be 24 units. Efficiency of Ashok = $\frac{24}{8}$ = 3 Efficiency of Anil = $\frac{24}{12}$ = 2 With the assistance of Amar, they finished the work in 4 days. Efficiency of Ashok, Anil, and Amar combined = $\frac{24}{4}$ = 6 Efficiency of Amar = 6 – (3 + 2) = 1 Efficiency ratio of Ashok : Anil : Amar = 3 : 2 : 1 Share of Amar = $\frac{1}{6}$ × 4500 = INR 750 Hence, the correct answer is INR 750.
