Solution

To solve this problem, we first need to find the rates at which A, B, and C work.

  1. A can complete the work in 8 days, so A's work rate is 1/8 of the work per day.
  2. B can complete the work in 12 days, so B's work rate is 1/12 of the work per day.

Given that A, B, and C together can complete the work in 4 days, their combined work rate is 1/4 of the work per day.

We can find C's work rate by subtracting A and B's work rates from the combined work rate:

C's work rate = (1/4) - (1/8 + 1/12) = 1/4 - 5/24 = 1/24 of the work per day.

Now, we need to find out how much work B did. B worked for 4 days at a rate of 1/12 of the work per day, so B did (4 * 1/12) = 1/3 of the work.

The total payment for the work is Rs.4800, so B's share of the money is (1/3) * Rs.4800 = Rs.1600.

So, the answer is 2.1600.
