Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 22.5 days Given: A and C together take15 days and A, B and C together take9 days Formula used: Efficiency = Work/(Time taken) Calculation: Total work = LCM of 9 and 15 = 45 units Efficiency of (A + C) = 45/15 = 3 units/day and efficiency of (A + B + C) = 45/9 = 5 units/day So, efficiency of B = (5 - 3) units\day ⇒ 2 units/day Now, B alone takes = (45 units)/(2 units/day) ⇒ (45/2) days ⇒ 22.5 days ∴B alone takes 22.5 daysto completethe work. |
