    and β€˜B’ can do it by working together. If horse β€˜A’ alone can complete the work in 38 hours and horse β€˜B’ in 57 hours, then find the time taken by elephant to complete the work.

    B 21.8 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 20.8 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 25.8 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the total work = 114 units Efficiency of horse who can complete the work in 38 hours = 114/38 = 3 units/hour Efficiency of horse who can complete the work in 57 hours = 114/57 = 2 units/hour Therefore, time taken by both horses to complete the work together = 114/(3 + 2) = 22.8 hours Therefore, time taken by the elephant to complete the work = 22.8Β hours
