B Correct answer
Explanation

John's rate = 1/3, Jory's rate = 1/2. Ratio of work = 1/3 : 1/2 = 2:3. John's share = (2/5) * 3500 = 1400.

AI explanation

John completes the work in 3 days and Jory in 2 days, meaning their daily work speeds are in the ratio of one third to one half, or 2 to 3. Wages are distributed in proportion to work done, so John receives 2 parts and Jory receives 3 parts of the total 5 parts. Divide Rs. 3500 by 5 to find one part equals Rs. 700, and multiplying by 2 gives John a share of Rs. 1400.
