Correct Answer: Rs. 2000
Solution : One day's work of X = $\frac{1}{15}$ One day's work of Y = $\frac{1}{10}$ One day's work of X and Y = $\frac{1}{15}+\frac{1}{10}$ = $\frac{2+3}{30}$ = $\frac{1}{6}$ Three day's work of X and Y = $3\times\frac{1}{6}$ = $\frac{1}{2}$ Remaining work can be done by Z = $1-\frac{1}{2}$ = $\frac{1}{2}$ $\because$ Half of the work is done by Z alone and the other half is done by X and Y together. $\therefore$ Share of Z = $\frac{4000}{2}$ = 2000 Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 2000.
