    Question

    A completes 1/3 of a task in 4 days, while B finishes

    the remaining work in 8 days. If B is 25% less efficient than C, how many days will A, B, and C together take to complete 5/6 of the task?
    A 2.5 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 3 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 4.5 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 6 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Time taken by тАШAтАЩ to complete the whole work = 4 ├Ч 3 = 12 days
    Time taken by тАШBтАЩ to complete the whole work = 8 ├Ч (3/2) = 12 days

    Time taken by тАШCтАЩ to complete the whole work = 0.75 ├Ч 12 = 9 days

    Let the total work be 36 units

    Efficiency of тАШAтАЩ = 36/12 = 3 units/day

    Efficiency of тАШBтАЩ = 36/12 = 3 units/day

    Efficiency of тАШCтАЩ = 36/9 = 4 units/day

    Required time taken = (5/6) ├Ч (36/10) = 3 days
