Two people were hired to plough a field for a total of Tk. 498 . They completed the job with one person working for 1.75 hours and the other working for 0.875 hours. If they split the Tk. 498 in proportion to the amount of time each spent working on the job, how much will person who worked longer receive?

Correct Answer: Tk. 332
Payment ratio = 1.75 : 0.875 So, person who worked longer will receive = 1.75 / (1.75 + 0.875) x 498 = 332 TK
