      lsquo;Arsquo; and lsquo;Brsquo; can do it by working together. If horse lsquo;Arsquo; alone can complete the work in 15 hours and horse lsquo;Brsquo; in 30 hours, then find the time taken by elephant to complete the work.
      A 12 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 10 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 18 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 24 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the total work = 30 units Efficiency of horse who can complete the work in 15 hours = 30/15 = 2 units/hour Efficiency of horse who can complete the work in 30 hours = 30/30 = 1 units/hour Therefore, time taken by both horses to complete the work together = 30/(2 + 1) = 10 hours Therefore, time taken by the elephant to complete the work = 10 hours
