Practicing Success
A can do a piece of work in 32 days and B can do the same work in 24 days. If they start the work and leave after 10 days and remaining work is completed by C in 13 days. How many days does C need to finish the work alone? |
49 days 46 days 48 days 55 days |
48 days |
Total efficiency of A + B = 3 + 4 = 7 Work done by A & B in 10 days = Efficiency x No. of days = 7 x 10 = 70 Work left = 96 - 70 = 26 Efficiency of C = \(\frac{Work}{No.\; of\; days}\) = \(\frac{26}{13}\) = 2 Time taken by C alone to complete this work = \(\frac{Total\; work}{Efficiency}\) = \(\frac{96}{2}\) = 48 days |
