    Question

    β€˜A’ alone can do some work in 25 days. β€˜B’ and

    β€˜C’ together can do the same work in 10 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 12.5 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 10.5 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 11.5 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 13.5 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the total work be 50 units. {LCM (25 and 10)} So, efficiency of β€˜A’ = (50/25) = 2 units/day So, efficiency of β€˜B’ = (2 x 0.5) = 1 unit/day Efficiency of β€˜B’ and β€˜C’ together = (50/10) = 5 units/day So, efficiency of β€˜C’ = 5 – 1 = 4 units/day So, time taken by β€˜C’ to finish the work alone = (50/4) = 12.5 days
