• B. 9100
• C. 9200
• D. 9150

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

9100

Answer 2

Anil can paint a house in 60 days. So, he can do $\frac{1}{60}$ of work per day.

Bimal can paint it in 84 days. So, he can do $\frac{1}{84}$ of work per day.

Let’s assume charu can paint it in ‘c’ days. So, he can do $\frac{1}{c}$ of work per day.
Anil alone does the work for 10 days. So, the work completed is 1616
The remaining work is $\frac{5}{6}.$
After that, for 14 days they worked together.

$\frac{14}{60}+\frac{14}{84}+\frac{14}{c}=\frac{5}{6}.$

$\frac{1}{c}= \frac{13}{30}×14$
Charu does his work for 14 days. So, the total work done by charu is $\frac{13}{30}$

The amount earned by charu = $\frac{13}{30}\times 21000 = Rs 9100$
