    Question

    A work can be completed by β€˜A’ and β€˜B’, alone in

    10 days and 12 days, respectively. Find the number of days taken by β€˜C’ to complete the same work alone if β€˜A’, β€˜B’ and β€˜C’ together can complete the whole work in 4 days.
    A 10 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 14 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 15 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 11 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let total work = 60 units (LCM of 10 and 12) Efficiency of β€˜A’ = (60/10) = 6 units/day Efficiency of β€˜B’ = (60/12) = 5 units/day Combined efficiency of β€˜A’, β€˜B’ and β€˜C’ = (60/4) = 15 units/day Efficiency of β€˜C’ = 15 – (6 + 5) = 4 units/day Required time taken = (60/4) = 15 days
