    β€˜E’ together can do it in 27 days. If β€˜E’ worked for 15 days alone and then left, in how many days will β€˜D’ finish the rest?
    A 20 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 38 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 12 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 35 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let total work = 135 {L.C.M of 45 and 27}

    Efficiency of β€˜D’ = 135 Γ· 45 = 3 units/day

    Combined efficiency of β€˜D’ and β€˜E’ = 135 Γ· 27 = 5 units/day

    So, efficiency of β€˜E’ = 5 – 3 = 2 units/day

    Work done by β€˜E’ in 15 days = 2 Γ— 15 = 30 units

    Remaining work = 135 – 30 = 105 units

    Time taken by β€˜D’ = 105 Γ· 3 = 35 days
