Correct Answer: Rs. 2,550
Solution : A can do the work in 63 hours. A and B can do the work in 36 hours. So, B can do the work alone in = $\frac{1}{\text{1 day work of A and B – 1 day work of A}}=\frac{1}{\frac{1}{36}-\frac{1}{63}}=\frac{756}{9}=$ 84 hours Now, the ratio of number of days = 63 : 84 = 3 : 4 So, the ratio of efficiency = 4 : 3 Therefore, share of A = $\frac{4}{7}$ × 5950 = Rs. 3400 Thus, the share of B = Rs. (5990 – 3400) = Rs. 2,550 Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 2,550.
