J alone can do a piece of work in 7.5 days. K and L together can complete the same work in 5 days. In how many days will J, K and L together complete the same work?1. 5 days2. 3 days3. 4.5 days4. 6 days

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 3 days

Given:

J can complete the work in 7.5 days

K and L can complete the work in 5 days, working together

Formula used:

The efficiency of a person is equal to its time taken

Calculation:

Per day efficiency of J = 1/7.5 = 2/15

Per day efficiency of K and L, working together = 1/5

Per day efficiency of J, K and L working together = \(\dfrac{2}{15} + \dfrac{1}{5} = \dfrac{1}{3}\)

∴ Together, they will take 3 days.
