    Question

    Working alone, β€˜X’ and

    β€˜Y’ can complete a work in 16 days and 10 days, respectively. They started working together but after 4 days, β€˜Y’ was replaced by β€˜Z’ and the work got finished in the next 4 days. Find the time taken by β€˜Z’ alone to finish the whole work.
    A 38 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 40 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 48 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 50 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the total work be 80 units (LCM of 16 and 10).

    Combined efficiency of X and Y = 5+8=13 units/day. Work done by X and Y together in 4 days = 13Γ—4=52 units. Remaining work = 80βˆ’52=28 units.

    Efficiency of Z = 7βˆ’5=2 units/day.
