      16:11:14, respectively. Together, they can complete a task in 30 days. Neha and Karan started the task, but after 20 days, Karan was replaced by Ishaan. In how many days was the entire task completed?

      B 54 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 43 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 19 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      Let the efficiencies of Neha, Karan, and Ishaan be 16x, 11x, and 14x units/day, respectively.

      Total work = (16x + 11x + 14x) Γ— 30 = 1230x units

      Work done by Neha and Karan in 20 days = 20 Γ— (16x + 11x) = 540x units

      Remaining work = 1230x – 540x = 690x units

      Time taken by Neha and Ishaan together = 690x / (16x + 14x) = 690x / 30x = 23 days

      Total time to finish the work = 20 + 23 = 43 days
