    Answer : Option B

    Explanation :

    C's 1 day's work = 1 - 1-sym-oparen-h1 1 + 1 1-sym-cparen-h1 = 1 - 7 = 1 .
    3 6 8 3 24 24
    A's wages : B's wages : C's wages = 1 : 1 : 1 = 4 : 3 : 1.
    6 8 24
    C's share (for 3 days) = Rs. 1-sym-oparen-h1 3 x 1 x 3200 1-sym-cparen-h1 = Rs. 400.
    24
