Q:
The ratio of efficiency of A is to C is 5:3. The ratio of number of days taken by B is to C is 2:3. A takes 6 days less than C, when A and C completes the work individually. B and C started the work and left after 2 days. The number of days taken by A to finish the remaining work is:
Answer & Explanation
Answer: C) 6
Explanation: A : C
Efficiency 5 : 3
No of days 3x : 5x
Given that, 5x-6 =3x => x = 3
Number of days taken by A = 9
Number of days taken by C = 15
B : C
Days 2 : 3
Therefore, Number of days taken by B = 10
Work done by B and C in initial 2 days = = 1/3
Thus, Rest work =2/3
Number of days required by A to finish 2/3 work = (2/3) x 9 = 6 days
