A and B undertake to do a piece of work for Rs. 480. A alone can do it in 75 days while B alone can do it in 40 days. With the help of C, they finish the work in 25 days. How much Rs should C get for his work?
A. 20
B. 40
C. 60
D. 80
E. 120
Let the total work be 600 units (LCM of 75 , 40 & 25 )

So, Efficiency of A is 8 , Efficiency of B is 15 & Efficiency of A + B + C is 24

Thus, Efficiency of C is Efficiency of ( A + B + C ) - Efficiency of A - Efficiency of B = 24 - 8 - 15

Thus, Efficiency of C is 1 and C gets 1/24*480 = 20 , Answer must be (A)

To solve this problem undertake per day rate - which is 6.4 and 12 for A and B respectively. Now multiply by 25, you will get 460, 480 is max they can pay hence C will get 20Rs only
