B Correct answer
Explanation

Kim's work rate is 1/3 and David's is 1/2. Their combined rate is 5/6, meaning they share the money in the ratio of their work contributions, which is 2:3. Kim's share is (2/5) * 150 = 60.

AI explanation

Wages are distributed in proportion to the work done, which depends on their efficiency. Kim's one day work is 1/3 and David's one day work is 1/2, giving a work ratio of 2 to 3. The total parts are 5, so Kim's share is 2 out of 5 parts of the total Rs 150. Kim's share is 2/5 multiplied by 150, which equals Rs 60.
