      If Ankit takes four times the time that Ravi takes or five

      times the time that Sandeep takes to finish a task, and all three working together can complete it in four days, how much time will Ravi need to complete the task alone?

      B 10 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 12 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 18 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ;
      Let time taken by Ankit alone to finish the work = 20x

      Time taken by Ravi alone to finish the work = 5x

      Time taken by Sandeep alone to finish the work = 4x

      Let total work = LCM of 20x, 5x, and 4x = 20x

      Part of work done by Ankit, Ravi, and Sandeep alone in 1 day is 1 unit, 4 units, and 5 units respectively.

      Total time taken to finish the task by all the 3 persons together = 4

      20x / (1 + 4 + 5) = 4

      x = 2

      Time taken by Ravi alone to finish the work = 5x = 10 days
