Practicing Success
A and B can complete a certain work in 13 days and 26 days, respectively. They worked together for 4 days. C alone completed the remaining work in 7 days, A, B and C together can complete the same work in: |
6\(\frac{2}{5}\) days 5\(\frac{1}{5}\) days 8\(\frac{4}{5}\) days 3\(\frac{1}{5}\) days |
5\(\frac{1}{5}\) days |
Efficiency of A + B = 2 + 1 = 3 Work done in 4 days = (efficiency of A + B) x No. of days = 3 x 4 = 12 Remaining work = 26 - 12 = 14 This work is done by C alone in 7 days, Then efficiency of C = \(\frac{work\; done}{no.\; of\; days}\) = \(\frac{14}{7}\) = 2 Efficiency of A + B + C = 2 + 1 + 2 = 5 Time taken by A, B and C to complete the work = \(\frac{Total \; work}{efficiency}\) = \(\frac{26}{5}\) = 5\(\frac{1}{5}\) days |
