Given:

Difference between wages of A and C = Rs. 7600

Formula Used:

Share in wages = Work done/Total work × Total wages

Calculation:

Let total work be 60 unit,

Work done by A and B = 13/15 × 60 = 52 unit

⇒ Work done by C = 60 – 52 = 8 unit

Work done by B and C = 11/20 × 60 = 33 unit

⇒ Work done by A = 60 – 33 = 27 unit

Work done by B = 60 – 27 – 8 = 25 unit

According to the question,

27 – 8 = 19 unit = 7600

⇒ 1 unit = 400

Total wages of A and C = (27 + 8) = 35 units = 35 × 400 = Rs. 14000
