Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 24 Given: C is 20% more efficient than B, let ratio of their efficiency be 6 : 5 C is 50% more efficient than A, let ratio of their efficiency be 2 : 3
We know that if the ratio of efficiency is x : y then the ratio of time taken will be y : x
Ratio of Days, C : B : A = 10 : 12 : 15 Let the total units to be produced be LCM(10,12 & 15) = 60 units ⇒ C’s 1 day work = 6 units ⇒ B’s 1 day work = 5 units ⇒ A’s 1 day work = 4 units ⇒ B alone can do work in = 60/5= 12 According to question 12 represents 72 days ⇒ 1 represents = 72/12= 6 days So A ,B and C together can complete it in = (60/15) × 6 days= 24 days ∴ A , B and C together will complete the work in 24 days. |
