Anil can paint a house in 1212 days while Barun can paint it in 1616 days. Anil, Barun, and Chandu undertake to paint the house for ₹ 2400024000 and the three of them together complete the painting in 66 days. If Chandu is paid in proportion to the work done by him, then the amount in INR received by him is

Solution

✅ Correct Answer: 3000

When people work together and get paid proportionally, we need to find each person's work rate (how much work they do per day) to determine their fair share.


Since the payment is proportional to work done, let's treat the total work as 24000 units, where each unit equals ₹1.

If total work = 24000 units and total payment = ₹24000, then each unit of work = ₹1. This directly connects work to money!


Anil completes the house in 12 days

So in 1 day, Anil completes = 24000 ÷ 12 = 2000 units/day

Barun completes the house in 16 days

So in 1 day, Barun completes = 24000 ÷ 16 = 1500 units/day

If someone takes 'n' days to complete a job, their daily work rate = (Total work) ÷ n


When all three work together, they complete the house in 6 days

Combined efficiency = 24000 ÷ 6 = 4000 units/day


Since Combined efficiency = Anil's + Barun's + Chandu's efficiency

Chandu's efficiency = 4000 - 2000 - 1500 = 500 units/day


Chandu worked for 6 days at 500 units/day:

Total work done by Chandu = 500 × 6 = 3000 units

Since 1 unit = ₹1, Chandu receives = ₹3000


Therefore, Chandu receives ₹3000
