Correct Answer: Rs. 300
Solution : The time taken by A alone = 15 days ⇒ Part of the work done by A in 1 day = $\frac{1}{15}$ The time taken by B alone = 12 days ⇒ Part of the work done by B in 1 day = $\frac{1}{12}$ Let the time taken by C alone = $x$ ⇒ Part of the work done by C in 1 day = $\frac{1}{x}$ The time taken by A, B, and C = 5 days ⇒ Part of the work done by A, B, and C together in 1 day = $\frac{1}{5}$ According to the question, $\frac{1}{5}=\frac{1}{15}+\frac{1}{12}+\frac{1}{x}$ ⇒ $\frac{1}{x}=\frac{1}{5}-\frac{1}{12}-\frac{1}{15}=\frac{12 – 5 – 4}{60} = \frac{1}{20}$ The ratio of the amounts A, B, and C earn $= \frac{1}{15} : \frac{1}{12} :\frac{1}{20} = 4: 5: 3$ Since total amount = 1200, Share of the amount earned by C = $\frac{3}{12}× 1200$ = Rs. $300$ Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 300.
