'A' can complete a work in 6 days and 'B' in 5 days.
They work together with their full capacities and receive rs 220 as wages for the work.
What is The share of 'B'
:
Let b = B's amt
then
(220-b) = A's amt
:
An inverse relationship here
6%2F5 = b%2F%28%28220-b%29%29
Cross multiply
5b = 6(220-b)
5b = 1320 - 6b
6b + 5b = 1320
11b = 1320
b = 1320/11
b = $120 is B's share
