A can do a piece of work in 10 days; B in 15 days. They work for 5 days. The rest of the work was finished by C in 2 days. If they get Rs. 1500 for the whole work, the daily wages of B and C are:

Answer: Rs. 225

Total work = 1
Work remaining after A and B worked for 5 days: $1 - frac{5}{6} = frac{1}{6}$
C completes the remaining 1/6 of the work in 2 days, so C’s 1-day work:
$1/6 \div 2 = 1/ 12$

Total amount = Rs. 1500
Work done ratio:
- A's total work = $frac{5}{10} = frac{1}{2}$
- B's total work = $frac{5}{15} = frac{1}{3}$
- C's total work = $frac{2}{12} = frac{1}{6}$
Share of wages:
- A's share = $frac{1}{2} times 1500 = 750$
- B's share = $frac{1}{3} times 1500 = 500$
- C's share = $frac{1}{6} times 1500 = 250$
Daily wages:
- B worked 5 days, so B’s daily wage = 500/5 = Rs. 100
- C worked 2 days, so C’s daily wage = 250/2 = Rs. 125
- 100+125 = 225
