[SSC 2011]


  • Explanation

    According to the question,

    Let us assume

    time taken by B = x

    then time taken by A = 2x

    and time taken by C =3x

    =1x+12x+13x=112

    ⇒ 1+12+13=x12

    6+3+26=x1211=x2

    ∴   x=22

    ∴ Required no. of days= 2x= 2×22= 44 days

    Hence option D is the correct .
