Asked in Bangalore Elitmus Test (29/10/2017)

A can do a piece of work in a days, B can do a piece of work in b days, C can do a piece of work in c days.If A+B can do a piece of work in 6 days B+C can do a piece of work in 7.5 days, C+A can do a piece of work in 10 days find the increasing order of a,b,c.

Answer 1

A+B = 12 

B+C = 15

A+C = 20

Lcm of (12,15,20) = 60

Efficiency is 

A+B = 5 

B+C = 4

A+C = 3

Total efficiency

2 (A+B+C) = 12 

A+B+C = 6

Individual efficiency

A = 6 - 4 = 2 

B = 6 - 3 = 3 

C = 6 - 5 = 1

Individual time taken

A = 60/2 = 30 days

B =60/3 = 20 days 

C = 60/1 = 60 days

Answer 2

A=30 days

B=20days

C=60 days

Hope it helps ✌✌❤
