      Question

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

      20 days and 10 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 8 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 5 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 10 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 7 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let total work = 20 units (LCM of 20 and 10) Efficiency of β€˜A’ = (20/20) = 1 units/day Efficiency of β€˜B’ = (20/10) = 2 units/day Combined efficiency of β€˜A’, β€˜B’ and β€˜C’ = (20/4) = 5 units/day Efficiency of β€˜C’ = 5 – (1 + 2) = 2 units/day Required time taken = (20/2) = 10 days
