Practicing Success
A can complete a certain work in 30 days. B is 25% more efficient than A and C is 20% more efficient than B. They all worked together for 3 days. B alone will complete the remaining work in: |
12 days 20 days 18 days 15 days |
15 days |
A = 30 days, Given, B is 25% more efficient than A and C is 20% more efficient than B. Therefore, A : B : C Efficiency 4 : 5 : 6 ⇒ Total work = 4 x 30 = 120 units ..(Efficiency × Days = Total work) ⇒ A + B + C worked for 3 days = (4 + 5 + 6) x 3 = (15) x 3 = 45 units. ⇒ Remaining work = 120 - 45 = 75 units. ⇒ Time required by B to complete 75 units = \(\frac{75}{5}\) = 15 days. ..(\(\frac{Work}{Efficiency}\) = Time) |
