Correct Answer: 1440
Solution : A can do the task in 27 hours and B can do it in 54 hours. With C, together, they complete a task in 12 hours. LCM of 27, 54, and 12 is 108. Let the total work be 108 units. A's working efficiency = $\frac{108}{27}$ = 4 B's working efficiency = $\frac{108}{54}$ = 2 A and B and C's combined working efficiency = $\frac{108}{12}$ = 9 ⇒ C's working efficiency = 9 – 4 – 2 = 3 So, C's share =$\frac{3}{9}×4320$ = Rs. 1440 Hence, the correct answer is 1440.
