This topic is similar to the time and work problems topic but the only difference is that in this topic we will also find out wages of the workers according to their time for that particular work. Time and wages formulas: If ‘M1’ persons can do ‘W1’ work in ‘D1’ days and ‘M2’ persons can do ‘W2’ work in ‘D2’ days then we have a very special general formula in the relationship of M1 D1 W2 = M2 D2 W1.
Work and wages concept
THEOREM: Wages are distributed in proportion to the work done and in indirect (or inverse) proportion to the time taken by the individual.
This theorem helps in shortcut tricks, which we will use for time and work or wages questions.
Time, work and wages problems with solutions are given below:
Ex. 1: A can do a work in 6 days and B can do the same work in 5 days. The contract for the work is Rs 220. How much shall B get if both of them work together?
Solution:
Method 1: A’s 1 day’s work = 1/6;
B’s 1 day’s work = 1/5
Ratio of their wages = 1/6 : 1/5
= 5:6
B’s share = 220 / 5+6 * 6
= Rs. 120

Method 2: As wages distributed in inverse proportion of number of days, their share should be in the ratio 5:6

B’s share = 220/11 * 6 = 120

Ex. 2: A man can do a work in 10 days. With the help of a boy he can do the same work in 6 days. If they get Rs 50 for that work, what is the share of that boy?
Solution:
The boy can do the work in 10*6 / 10-6 = 15 days.
Man’s share : boy’s share = 15 : 10 = 3 : 2
Man’s share = 50/5 * 3 = Rs 30

Ex. 3: A, B and C can do a work in 6, 8 and 12 days respectively. Doing that work together they get an amount of Rs. 1350. What is the share of B in that amount?
Solution: A’s one day’s work = 1/6
B’s one day’s work = 1/8
C’s one day’s work = 1/12
A’s share : B’s share : C’s share = 1/6 : 1/8 : 1/12
Multiplying each ratio by the LCM of their denominations, the rations become 4 : 3 : 2
B’s share = 1350/9 * 3 = 450

work and wages Shortcut trick: A’s share : B’s share : C’s share =
B’s time * C’s time : A’s time * C’s time : A’s time * B’s time
= 96 : 72 : 48 = 4 : 3 : 2
B’s share = 1350/9 * 3
= 450 Rs.

Ex. 4: two men undertake to do a piece of work for Rs 200. One alone could do it in 6 days. With the assistance of a boy they finish it in 3 days. How should the money be divided?
Solution: 1st man’s 3 days’ work = 3/6
2nd man’s 3 days’ work = 3/8
The boy’s 3 days work = 1 – (3/6 + 3/8) = 1/8
Their share will be in the ratio 3/6 : 3/8 : 1/8 = 4 : 3 : 1
1st man’s share = 200/8 * 4 = Rs. 100
2nd man’s share = 200/8 * 3 = Rs 75
The boy’s share = 200/8 * 1 = Rs. 25
