    Question

    β€˜A’ alone can do some work in 14 days. β€˜B’ and

    β€˜C’ together can do the same work in 12 days. If β€˜B’ is half as efficient as β€˜A’, then find the time taken by β€˜C’ to complete the work alone.
    A 20 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 21 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 23 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 19 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the total work be 84 units. {LCM (14 and 12)} So, efficiency of β€˜A’ = (84/14) = 6 units/day So, efficiency of β€˜B’ = (6 x 0.5) = 3 unit/day Efficiency of β€˜B’ and β€˜C’ together = (84/12) = 7 units/day So, efficiency of β€˜C’ = 7 – 3 = 4 units/day So, time taken by β€˜C’ to finish the work alone = (84/4) = 21 days
