Practice Test Discussion

Q)

A takes twice the time taken by B and thrice the time taken by C to do a particular piece of work. Working together, they can complete the work in 2 days. Find the number of days taken by A, B and C respectively to complete the work alone?


  • Explanation

    According to the question,

    Let A,B and C take x, x2 and x3 days, respectively to complete the work.

    So, in 1 day (A+B+C) will complete

    =1x+2x+3x=6xth of the work.

    from question, 6x=12

    [As (A+B+C)'s 1 day work =12]

    ⇒ x=12

    ∴ Time taken to complete the work by

    A= 12 days

    B= 122=6 days

    C= 123=4 days

    Hence option A is the correct .
