    Question

    A and B together can complete a piece of

    work in 46 days while B and C together can complete the same work in 52 days. All of three together can complete 80% of the whole work in 26.4 days then find the time taken by A and C together to complete the whole work. Note: You have to find approx. value
    A 51 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 57 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 50 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 44 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 60 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Time taken by A, B and C together to complete the whole work = 26.4/0.80 = 33 days
    Let total amount of work = 39468 (LCM of 46, 52 and 33)
    Efficiency of (A + B) = 39468/46 = 858 units per day
    Efficiency of (B + C) = 39468/52 = 759 units per day
    Efficiency of (A + B + C) = 39468/33 = 1196 units per day
    Efficiency of A = 1196 – 759 = 437 units per day
    Efficiency of C = 1196 – 858 = 338 units per day
    Desired time = 39468/775 = 50.9 days = 51 days
