Correct Answer: INR 300


Solution : LCM of 10. 12 and 15 is 60
Total work = 60
Efficiency of J 1 = $\frac{60}{10}=6$
Efficiency of J 2 = $\frac{60}{12}=5$
Efficiency of J 3 = $\frac{60}{15}=4$
The ratio of their efficiencies = 6 : 5 : 4
Amount received = INR 2250
Share of J 1 = $\frac{2250}{15}\times6=900$
Share of J 2 = $\frac{2250}{15}\times5=750$
Share of J 3 = $\frac{2250}{15}\times4=600$
The difference in the shares of J 1 and J 3 = 900 – 600 = 300
Hence, the correct answer is INR 300.
