Practicing Success
X and Y together can do a piece of work in 30 days. Z alone can do it in 60 days. If they worked together, then in how many days can they finish the work? |
50 days 25 days 45 days 20 days |
20 days |
Total work = LCM of 30, 60 = 60
Efficiency of X+Y+Z = eff(X+Y) + eff(Z) = 2 + 1= 3 Time taken by X, Y, Z together to complete the work = $\frac{total\;work}{efficiency}$ = $\frac{60}{3}$ = 20 days |
