Correct Answer: Rs. 20,000


Solution : Given: X and Y can complete a piece of work in 12 and 60 days.
The total work of X and Y is LCM of (12, 60) = 60 units
1 day's work by X $=\frac{60}{12}=5$
1 day's work by Y $=\frac{60}{60}=1$
So, the ratio of their efficiency $= 5 : 1$
Share of X $=\frac{5}{6}\times 24000=$ Rs. $20000$
Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 20,000.
