Amal can complete a job in 10 days and Bimal can complete it in 8 days. Amal, Bimal and Kamal together complete the job in 4 days and are paid a total amount of Rs 1000 as remuneration. If this amount is shared by them in proportion to their work, then Kamal's share, in rupees, is


A. 100
B. 200
C. 300
D. 400
E. 500

Instead of A and B working at different rates, let's say they can each finish in 10 days (we are making B slower than he really is) and see if we learn anything. If A and B each takes 10 days alone, then together they'd finish in 5 days. They finish in 4, so K only saved them 1 day, which means K did 1/5th of the work. That would be 200 for K. But remember, we slowed B down. If we speed him back up to his normal speed, K will get less than 200. Only one answer choice fits.

Answer choice A.
