Correct Answer:

B) \( \Large 6\frac{2}{3} \) days


Description for Correct answer:

If B alone completes the Work in x days,A will do the same 2 days. \( \Large \therefore \left(A + B\right)'s 1 \ days's \ work \)\( \Large = \frac{1}{x} + \frac{1}{2x} = \frac{2 + 1}{2x} = \frac{3}{2x} \)\( \Large \therefore C's ! \ days \ work = \frac{3}{4x} \)\( \Large \therefore \frac{3}{4x} = \frac{1}{20} \)\( \Large => 4x = 3 \times 20 \)\( \Large => x = \frac{3 \times 20}{4} = 15 \)\( \Large \therefore \left(A + B + C\right)'s \ 1 \ days \ work \)\( \Large = \frac{1}{2x} + \frac{1}{x} + \frac{3}{4x} = \frac{1}{30} + \frac{1}{15} + \frac{1}{20} \)\( \Large =\frac{2 + 4 + 3}{60} = \frac{9}{60} = \frac{3}{20} \)

\( \Large =\frac{20}{3} = 6\frac{2}{3}days \)

Given:

A = 50% more efficient than B

C = 1/2 of work done by A and B together

C alone can do the work in = 40 days

Calculation:

(A’s one day’s work) : (B’s one day’s work)

⇒ 150 : 100

⇒ 3 : 2

Let A’s one day’s work be 3x and B’s one day’s work be 2x.

∴ According to the question

 C’s one day’s work = (3x + 2x)/2

⇒ 5x/2 = 1/40

⇒ x = (1/40) × 2/5

⇒ x = 1/100

A’s one day’s work be 3/100 and B’s one day’s work be 1/50.

∴ (A + B + C)’s one day’s work:

⇒ 3/100 + 1/50 + 1/40

⇒ 15/200

⇒ 3/40 = (A + B + C)'s one day work

A, B, C can complete the whole work in 40/3 days.

∴ A, B, and C can complete the work in 40/3 days.
