Question #2
A, B and C can complete a work in 12, 15 and 20 days respectively. If they work together, in how many days will the work be completed?
A. 4.5 days
B. 4 days
C. 5 days
D. 6 days

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Total work = LCM(12, 15, 20) = 60 units. Efficiency of A = 5, B = 4, C = 3. Combined efficiency = 5 + 4 + 3 = 12 units/day. Time taken together = 60 / 12 = 5 days.

A. 12 days
B. 11 days
C. 9 days
D. 10 days

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Let efficiency of B = 5, then efficiency of A = 4. Total work = Efficiency of A * Time of A = 4 * 15 = 60 units. Time taken by B = 60 / 5 = 12 days.
