      Question

      Individually, X, Y and Z can finish a job in 15 days, 20

      days, and 24 days respectively. How many days will they take to complete the job working together?
      A 6(6/19) days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 2(5/19) days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 3(7/19) days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 4(1/19) days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      Let the total work be 120 units (LCM of 15, 20 and 24)

      Efficiency of 'X' = (120 ÷ 15) = 8 units/day

      Efficiency of 'Y' = (120 ÷ 20) = 6 units/day

      Efficiency of 'Z' = (120 ÷ 24) = 5 units/day

      Required time = 120 ÷ (8 + 6 + 5) = (120 ÷ 19) = 6(6/19) days
