    Question

    A can finish a job in 30 hours while B can finish it in

    20 hours. If C is (300/7)% more efficient than A and B together, then find the time taken by C alone to complete the work.
    A 12 hrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 4.5 hrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 7.5 hrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 10 hrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Let the total work be LCM of (30 and 20) = 60 units
    Work done by A in one hour = 60 á 30 = 2 units
    Work done by B in one hour = 60 á 20 = 3 units
    Work done by A and B together in one hour = 2 + 3 = 5 units
    Work done by C in one hour = 5 + (300/7)% of 5 = 5 + 3 = 8 units
    Time taken by C alone = 60 á 8 = 7.5 hours
