A and B earn wages in the ratio of their work rates, 3:5. If the total wage is Rs. 4,800, what does A receive?
Choose an option to check your answer.
A's share is 3 out of 8 total parts.
Thus, A receives 3/8 × 4,800 = Rs. 1,800.

Worker-days remain constant for the same job.
Thus, 15 × 20 ÷ 12 = 25 workers.
Choose an option to check your answer.
Twenty-four workers complete 1/4 in 10 days, so the remaining 3/4 needs 30 equivalent days at the same workforce.
Only 20 days remain, requiring 36 workers, so 12 extra are needed.

The train covers its length plus the platform length: 300 meters.
Speed = 300 ÷ 20 = 15 m/s.
