A and B can do a piece of work in 30 days, while B and C can do the same work in 24 days and C and A in 20 days. They all work together for 10 days, after that B and C left the work. If they got Rs 7500 for that work then how much A get more than C?

To solve this problem, we need to first determine the work rates of A, B, and C individually, and then calculate how much each one contributes to the total work. Here's the step-by-step breakdown:

### Step 1: Calculate the combined work rates
Let the total work be \( W \).

- A and B can do the work in 30 days, so their combined rate is:
  \[
  \text{Rate of A and B} = \frac{1}{30}
  \]
  
- B and C can do the work in 24 days, so their combined rate is:
  \[
  \text{Rate of B and C} = \frac{1}{24}
  \]
  
- C and A can do the work in 20 days, so their combined rate is:
  \[
  \text{Rate of C and A} = \frac{1}{20}
  \]

### Step 2: Calculate the individual work rates of A, B, and C
Let the individual rates of A, B, and C be \( a \), \( b \), and \( c \), respectively. We can now set up the following equations based on the combined rates:

\[
a + b = \frac{1}{30}
\]
\[
b + c = \frac{1}{24}
\]
\[
c + a = \frac{1}{20}
\]

### Step 3: Solve for individual rates
To find the individual rates of A, B, and C, we can add the three equations:

\[
(a + b) + (b + c) + (c + a) = \frac{1}{30} + \frac{1}{24} + \frac{1}{20}
\]
\[
2(a + b + c) = \frac{1}{30} + \frac{1}{24} + \frac{1}{20}
\]

Let's calculate the right-hand side:
\[
\frac{1}{30} + \frac{1}{24} + \frac{1}{20}
\]
The least common denominator (LCD) of 30, 24, and 20 is 120. So we convert the fractions:

\[
\frac{1}{30} = \frac{4}{120}, \quad \frac{1}{24} = \frac{5}{120}, \quad \frac{1}{20} = \frac{6}{120}
\]
\[
\frac{1}{30} + \frac{1}{24} + \frac{1}{20} = \frac{4}{120} + \frac{5}{120} + \frac{6}{120} = \frac{15}{120} = \frac{1}{8}
\]

So:
\[
2(a + b + c) = \frac{1}{8}
\]
\[
a + b + c = \frac{1}{16}
\]

Now we can find each individual's work rate by solving the system of equations:

1. \( a + b = \frac{1}{30} \)
2. \( b + c = \frac{1}{24} \)
3. \( c + a = \frac{1}{20} \)
4. \( a + b + c = \frac{1}{16} \)

From \( a + b + c = \frac{1}{16} \), we subtract each pair of equations to find the individual rates.

### Step 4: Determine how much work A, B, and C contribute
After calculating the individual rates \( a \), \( b \), and \( c \), we determine how much work each person does in the first 10 days when all three work together, and then calculate how much more work A does after B and C leave.

### Step 5: Distribute the Rs 7500 based on work done

Finally, the total amount Rs 7500 is distributed in proportion to the amount of work done by each person. This will allow us to determine how much more A gets than C.

**Tip**: When solving work problems, always start by calculating the rates of work first, then distribute the work done based on time and participation.

**Relative questions**:
1. How can work rates be useful in real-life scenarios?
2. What if they worked together for more than 10 days, how would it affect the distribution?
3. How would the solution change if the total payment was different?
4. Can you derive the individual rates without using algebra?
5. What happens if another person is added to the group?
