Q:

A can do a work in 9 days, B can do a work in 7 days, C can do a work in 5 days. A works on the first day, B works on the second day and C on the third day respectively that is they work on alternate days. When will they finish the work ?

A) [7 + (215/345)] days B) [6 + (11/215)] days
C) [6 + (261/315)] days D) [5 + (112/351)] days
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) [6 + (261/315)] days

Explanation:

After day 1, A finishes 1/9 of the work.

After day 2, B finishes 1/7 more of the total work. (1/9) + (1/7) is finished.

After day 3, C finishes 1/5 more of total work. Total finished is 143/315.

So, after day 6, total work finished is 286/315.

 

Now remaining work =  29 /315

 

On day 7, A will work again 

 

Work will be completed on day 7 when A is working. He must finish 29/315 of total remaining work.

 

Since he takes 9 days to finish the total task, he will need 261/315 of the day. 

 

Total days required is 6 + (261/315) days.
