A can do 50% of a work in 14 days, whereas B can do 60% of the same work in 21 days. Both work together for 10 days. C completes the remaining work in 5 days. Find the time taken by B and C together to complete the work. |
12 days 10 days 15 days 18 days |
10 days |
Time taken by A to complete 50% of the work = 14 days Time taken by A to complete 100% of the work = 28 days Time taken by B to complete 60% of the work = 21 days Time taken by B to complete 100% of the work = 35 days Total work = 140 Work completed in 10 days = Efficiency x No. of days = (5 + 4) x 10 = 9 x 10 = 90 Work left = 140 - 90 = 50 Efficiency of C = \(\frac{Work}{Time\; taken}\) = \(\frac{50}{5}\) = 10 Efficiency of B and C = 4 + 10 = 14 Time taken by B and C to complete the work = \(\frac{Total\; work}{Efficiency}\) = \(\frac{140}{14}\) = 10 days |
