A can do a work in 12 days In one day A can do (1/(12)) of whole work In 5 days A can do (5/(12)) of whole work B can do the work in 17 days In one day B can do (1/(17)) of whole work In 5 days B can do (5/(17)) of whole work In 5 days A,B & C can do the whole work Let C has done c of whole work (5/(12))+(5/(17))+c=1(whole work) c=1−(5/(12))−(5/(17))=((12×17−5×17−5×12)/(12×17))=((204−85−60)/(204))=((59)/(204)) In 5 days whole work A,B and C has respectively shared as follows (5/(12)) ,(5/(17)) ,((59)/(204)) So Rs 238 will be shared Share of A =238×(5/(12))=Rs 99(1/6) Share of B =238×(5/(17))=Rs 70 Share of A =238×((59)/(204))=Rs 68(5/6)
