A and B work together. A alone can complete the work in 30 days and B alone in 22 days. What percentage of the total daily work is contributed by A?
Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation:
A share = (1/30) / (1/30+1/22) ×100 = 42.31%.
A share = (1/30) / (1/30+1/22) ×100 = 42.31%.

A and B can do a piece of work in 12 days, B and C in 15 days, and C and A in 20 days. If A, B and C work together, in how many days will they complete the work?
Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation:
Total work = LCM(12, 15, 20) = 60 units. Efficiency of (A+B) = 5, (B+C) = 4, (C+A) = 3. Sum of efficiencies = 2 * (A+B+C) = 12 => Efficiency of (A+B+C) = 6 units/day. Time taken together = 60 / 6 = 10 days.
