Given:

A can complete the work in 20 days.

B can complete the work in 25 days.

All three (A, B, and C) completed the work together in 10 days.

Total payment = Rs.700.

Formula Used:

Work done by a person in one day = 1 / Number of days to complete the work.

Total work done = Work completed in 10 days.

Share of payment = (Work done by the person / Total work) × Total payment.

Calculation:

Work done by A in 1 day = 1 / 20.

Work done by B in 1 day = 1 / 25.

Work done by A and B in 1 day = (1 / 20) + (1 / 25).

Work done by A and B in 1 day = 5 / 100 + 4 / 100 = 9 / 100.

Work done by A and B in 10 days = 10 × (9 / 100) = 90 / 100.

Remaining work = Total work - Work done by A and B.

Remaining work = 1 - (90 / 100) = 10 / 100.

Work done by C = Remaining work = 10 / 100.

Total payment = Rs.700.

Share of C = (Work done by C / Total work) × Total payment.

Share of C = (10 / 100) × 700 = Rs.70.

The share of C is Rs.70.
