Question : C1, C2 and C3 can do work alone in 10, 12, and 15 days respectively. All three of them began the work together but C2 left 2 days before the completion of the work. In how many days was the work completed?
Option 1: 3
Option 2: 7
Option 3: 5
Option 4: 4
Correct Answer: 5
Solution :
C1, C2 and C3 can do a work alone in 10,12 and 15 days, respectively.
C1's 1 day's work =
C2's 1 day's work =
C3's 1 day's work =
(C1 + C2 + C3)'s 1 day's work =
So, they will complete the work in 4 days.
C2 left 2 days before the completion of the work.
So, remaining work =
(C1 + C3)'s 1 day's work =
C1 and C3 together will complete the remaining work in
Total days = 2 + 3 = 5 days
Hence, the correct answer is 5.
