Let's analyze the problem step-by-step.
Problem:
- A can complete the work in 12 days.
- B can complete the work in 10 days.
- The total payment for the work is Rs. 220.
- A and B work together.
- Find A's share of the payment.
Step 1: Calculate the work rates of A and B
- A's work rate = 1 work / 12 days = 112\frac{1}{12}121 work per day.
- B's work rate = 1 work / 10 days = 110\frac{1}{10}101 work per day.
Step 2: Calculate their combined work rate
Combined work rate = A's rate + B's rate
112+110=560+660=1160\frac{1}{12}+\frac{1}{10}=\frac{5}{60}+\frac{6}{60}=\frac{11}{60}121+101=605+606=6011 work per day.
Step 3: Calculate the share of work done by A and B
- A's share of work = 1/1211/60=112×6011=511\frac{1/12}{11/60}=\frac{1}{12}\times \frac{60}{11}=\frac{5}{11}11/601/12=121×1160=115
- B's share of work = 1/1011/60=110×6011=611\frac{1/10}{11/60}=\frac{1}{10}\times \frac{60}{11}=\frac{6}{11}11/601/10=101×1160=116
Step 4: Calculate A's share of the payment
Total payment = Rs. 220
A's share = 511×220=5×20=Rs.100\frac{5}{11}\times 220=5\times
20=Rs.100115×220=5×20=Rs.100
Answer:
A's share of the payment is Rs. 100.
