A can do a work in 4 days, B in 5 days and C in 10 days. Find the time taken by A, B and C together to do the work.
A. 2 days
B. 1(7/11) days
C. 1(9/11) days
D. 2(1/11) days
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Total work = LCM(4, 5, 10) = 20 units. Efficiency of A = 5, B = 4, C = 2. Combined efficiency = 5 + 4 + 2 = 11 units/day. Time taken together = 20 / 11 = 1(9/11) days.

Question #1 Report Error
10 men can complete a piece of work in 15 days and 15 women can complete the same work in 12 days. If all the 10 men and 15 women work together, in how many days will the work be completed?
A. 6(1/3) days
B. 8 days

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
1-day work of 10 men = 1/15. 1-day work of 15 women = 1/12. Combined 1-day work = 1/15 + 1/12 = (4 + 5) / 60 = 9 / 60 = 3 / 20. Total days required = 20 / 3 = 6(2/3) days.
