C Correct answer
Explanation

Work ratio A:B = 1/4 : 1/5 = 5:4. Total parts = 9. B's share = 4/9 * 450 = 200.

AI explanation

The one-day work ratio of A and B is 1/4 : 1/5, which simplifies to 5:4. Since wages are distributed in proportion to work done, B's share corresponds to 4 parts out of the total 9 parts. B's share of the Rs. 450 total payment is 450 * 4 / 9 = Rs. 200.
