Chapter 72

In the suburbs of New Delhi, there was a manor owner who hired two small laborers to grow wheat for him.Among them, A is an expert at cultivating the land, but not good at sowing seeds; while B is very unskilled at cultivating the land, but is an expert at sowing seeds.The owner of the manor decided to plant 10 acres of wheat, and let them each take half of it, so A started plowing the land from the east end, and B started plowing from the west end. It takes A 20 minutes to plow an acre of land, but B takes 40 minutes, but B's sowing speed is three times faster than A's.After plowing and sowing, the owner of the manor gave them 3 rupees as wages according to their workload.

How should they be divided?
[Answer: Half of each, 50 rupees each.Because no matter how fast everyone works, the owner of the manor has long ago decided that the two of them will "take half and half".Therefore, both of them have the same arable land and sown area, and of course they should each get half of the wages. ]
