    • Question

      A work can be completed by ‘A’ and ‘B’, alone in

      7 days and 14 days, respectively. Find the number of days taken by ‘C’ to complete the same work alone if ‘A’, ‘B’ and ‘C’ together can complete the whole work in 4 days.
      A 28 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 27 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 26 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 25 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let total work = 14 units (LCM of 7 and 14) Efficiency of ‘A’ = (14/7) = 2 units/day Efficiency of ‘B’ = (14/14) = 1 units/day Combined efficiency of ‘A’, ‘B’ and ‘C’ = (14/4) = 3.5 units/day Efficiency of ‘C’ = 3.5 – (2 + 1) = 0.5 units/day Required time taken = (14/0.5) = 28 days
