    Question

    A and B together, B and C together and A and C

    together can complete a piece of work in 22 days, 20 days and 12 days respectively. Find the ratio of the efficiencies of A, B and C, respectively.
    A 4:5:7 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 26:4:29 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 4:7:5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 7:5:4 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 4:2:7 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let, the total work be 660 units (LCM of 22, 20 and 12)
    Amount of work done by A and B together in one day = 660/22 = 30 units
    Amount of work done by B and C together in one day = 660/20 = 33 units
    Amount of work done by A and C together in one day = 660/12 = 55 units
    Amount of work done by A, B and C together in one day = (30 + 33 + 55)/2 = 59 units
    Amount of work done by A alone in one day = 59 – 33 = 26 units
    Amount of work done by B alone in one day = 59 – 55 = 4 units
    Amount of work done by C alone in one day = 59 – 30 = 29 units
    So the desired ratio = 26:4:29
