Question: Rafi alone can complete a work in 10 days and Tareq alone can complete it in 15 days. Rafi and Tareq undertook to complete the work for Tk. 7500. With the help of Salman, they finished the work in 5 days. How much should Salman be paid?

Solution:
Rafi's 1 day work = 1/10
Tareq's 1 day work = 1/15
Rafi + Tareq + Salman's 1 day work = 1/5

∴ Salman's 1 day work = 1/5 - (1/10 + 1/15)
= (6 - 3 - 2)/30
= 1/30
Salman's 5 days work = 5 × 1/30 = 1/6

Salman completed 1/6 of the total work.
∴ He should be paid 1/6 of Tk. 7500
∴ Salman’s payment = 7500 × 1/6 = Tk. 1250
