A does (1/(12)) work each day  B does (1/(24)) work each day  A worked 6 days alone, then A and  B work x days togother:  ((6+x)/(12))+(x/(24))=1  ⇒x=4  total work done by A: ((10)/(12))=(5/6)  total work done by B: (4/(24))=(1/6)  A should get (5/6) of the total payment,  i.e. (5/6)×180=150 Rs  B should get (1/6) of the total payment,  i.e. (1/6)×180=30 Rs

this is the result in mathematics.    now the result in practice:  A gets 30 Rs and B gets 150 Rs, since  B is the nephew of the boss.

A and B work together in a  day  =(1/(12)) +(1/(24))=(1/8) part of work  In 6day A complete=(6/(12))=(1/2)  A,B complete =8×(1/2)=4days  A′s work:B′s work  =10×(1/(12)):4×(1/(24))  =(5/6):(1/6)=5:1∴  ∴A′s share=(5/6)×180=Rs150

$$\mathrm{A}\:\mathrm{and}\:\mathrm{B}\:\mathrm{work}\:\mathrm{together}\:\mathrm{in}\:\mathrm{a} \\ $$$$\mathrm{day}\:\:=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{12}}\:+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{24}}=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{8}}\:\mathrm{part}\:\mathrm{of}\:\mathrm{work} \\ $$$$\mathrm{In}\:\mathrm{6day}\:\mathrm{A}\:\mathrm{complete}=\frac{\mathrm{6}}{\mathrm{12}}=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\mathrm{A},\mathrm{B}\:\mathrm{complete}\:=\mathrm{8}×\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}=\mathrm{4days} \\ $$$$\mathrm{A}'\mathrm{s}\:\mathrm{work}:\mathrm{B}'\mathrm{s}\:\mathrm{work} \\ $$$$=\mathrm{10}×\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{12}}:\mathrm{4}×\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{24}} \\ $$$$=\frac{\mathrm{5}}{\mathrm{6}}:\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{6}}=\mathrm{5}:\mathrm{1}\therefore \\ $$$$\therefore\mathrm{A}'\mathrm{s}\:\mathrm{share}=\frac{\mathrm{5}}{\mathrm{6}}×\mathrm{180}=\mathrm{Rs150} \\ $$
