    D 28 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Let the total work be 54 units. {LCM (27 and 18)} Efficiency of Suresh + Tarun = 54 ÷ 27 = 2 units/day Efficiency of Ramesh + Tarun = 54 ÷ 18 = 3 units/day Let: Suresh = s, Tarun = t Ramesh = 2s So, (s + t) = 2 ……… (i) (2s + t) = 3 ……… (ii) Subtracting (i) from (ii): s = 1 Efficiency of Ramesh = 2 × 1 = 2 units/day Required time = 54 ÷ (1 + 2) = 18 days
