      Question

      If Pritam takes two times the time that Sameer takes or

      three times the time that Vikas takes to finish a task, and all three working together can complete it in 6 days, how much time will Sameer need to complete the task alone?

      B 10 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 12 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 18 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ;
      Let time taken by Pritam alone to finish the work = 6x

      Time taken by Sameer alone to finish the work = 3x

      Time taken by Vikas alone to finish the work = 2x

      Let total work = LCM of 6x, 3x, and 2x = 6x

      Part of work done by Pritam, Sameer, and Vikas alone in 1 day is 1 unit, 2 units, and 3 units respectively.

      Total time taken to finish the task by all the 3 persons together = 6

      6x / (1 + 2 + 3) = 6

      x = 3

      Time taken by Sameer alone to finish the work = 3x = 9 days
