A can do a piece of work in 20 days and B in 30 days. They work together for 7 days and then both leave. Then C alone finishes the remaining work in 10 days. In how many days can C alone finish the full work?
A. 24 days
B. 35 days
C. 25 days
D. 30 days
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Total work = LCM(20, 30) = 60 units. Efficiency of A = 3, B = 2. Combined efficiency = 5 units/day. In 7 days, work done = 7 * 5 = 35 units. Remaining work = 60 - 35 = 25 units. C takes 10 days to do 25 units, so efficiency of C = 25 / 10 = 2.5 units/day. Time taken by C for full work = 60 / 2.5 = 24 days.
