Question #3
A can complete a piece of work in 10 days, B in 15 days, and C in 20 days. A and C worked together for 2 days and then A was replaced by B. In how many days altogether was the work completed?
A. 7 days
B. 6 days
C. 8 days
D. 9 days

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Total work = LCM(10, 15, 20) = 60 units. Efficiency of A = 6, B = 4, C = 3. A and C work for 2 days: work done = 2 * (6 + 3) = 18 units. Remaining work = 60 - 18 = 42 units. B and C complete remaining work together with efficiency = 4 + 3 = 7 units/day. Time taken for remaining work = 42 / 7 = 6 days. Total time = 2 + 6 = 8 days.
