Q:

A,B,C can complete a work in 15,20 and 30 respectively.They all work together for two days then A leave the work,B and C work some days and B leaves 2 days before completion of that work.how many days required to complete the whole work?

Answer

Given A,B,C can complete a work in 15,20 and 30 respectively.


The total work is given by the LCM of 15, 20, 30 i.e, 60.


A's 1 day work = 60/15 = 4 units


B's 1 day work = 60/20 = 3 units


C's 1 day work = 60/30 = 2 units


(A + B + C) worked for 2 days = (4 + 3 + 2) 2 = 18 units


 Let B + C worked for x days = (3 + 2) x = 5x units


C worked for 2 days = 2 x 2 = 4 units


Then, 18 + 5x + 4 = 60


22 + 5x = 60


5x = 38


x = 7.6


 


Therefore, total number of days taken to complete the work = 2 + 7.6 + 2 = 11.6 = 11 3/5 days.

A) 132 km B) 264 km
C) 134 km D) 236 km
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 264 km

Explanation:

Let the distance travelled by Tilak in first case or second case = d kms

Now, from the given data,

d/20 = d/22 + 36 min

=> d/20 = d/22 + 3/5 hrs

=> d = 132 km.

 

Hence, the total distance travelled by him = d + d = 132 + 132 = 264 kms.
