      25 and 50 days, respectively, while ‘Gaurav’ can complete 20% of the job in 10 days. All three start together, but after 7 days, ‘Elvish’ and ‘Farhan’ leave. How long will the total work take?
      A 15 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 13 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 29 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 31 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      Gaurav’s full work calculation: (10/0.20) = 50 days.

      Total work = LCM (25, 50, 50) = 100 units.

      Work per day:

      Efficiency of Elvish = 100/25 = 4 units/day

      Efficiency of Farhan = 100/50 = 2 units/day

      Efficiency of Gaurav = 100/50 = 2 units/day

      Work done in 7 days:

      (4+2+2) × 7 = 56 units.

      Remaining work = 100 - 56 = 44 units.

      Time taken by Gaurav = 44/2 = 22 days.

      Total time = 7 + 22 = 29 days.
