Question:

A can do a piece of work in 20 days. B is 30% more efficient than A, and C is 50% more efficient than B. A and C work together for 3 days and then C leaves. A and B together will complete the remaining work in?

Options:

4\(\frac{1}{13}\)

4\(\frac{38}{46}\)

4\(\frac{39}{46}\)

4.5

Correct Answer:

4\(\frac{39}{46}\)

Explanation:

                      A   :    B     :     C                 

                   100  :    130   

                                130  :    195

                   100  :    130  :    195

(divided 10) 

                    10  :     13    :   19.5

                        A

Total work    =  10 × 20

                  = 200

Total work in 3 days by A + C → 3 (10+ 19.5)

                                           = 88.5

      remaining work  = 200 - 88.5 = 111.5

Now A + B taken days complete work = \(\frac{111.5}{10 + 13}\)

                                                       = 4\(\frac{39}{46}\)
