Option 1: 20
Option 2: 30
Option 3: 18
Option 4: 24
Correct Answer: 20
Solution :
Given:
A, B, and C can do a job working alone for 50, 75 and 20 days, respectively.
Total work = LCM of (50, 75, 20) = 300 units
Efficiency of A =
Efficiency of B =
Efficiency of C =
Total work they have done in the first 4 days.
= 4 × (6 + 4 + 15) = 100 units
Remaining work = 300 – 100 = 200 units
Therefore, days required for A & B to complete the work
=
=
=
Hence, the correct answer is 20.
