Read Solution (Total 10)
-
- A and B both can finish the work in 6 days means
1/A+1/B=1/6 ................(i)
B and C both can finish the work in 7.5 days means
1/B+1/C=1/7.5 ...................(ii)
C and A both can finish the work in 10 days means
1/A+1/B=1/10 ........................(iii)
Adding (i),(ii) and (iii), we get
2(1/A+1/B+1/C)=2/5 ......................(iv)
from (i) we have 1/A+1/B=1/6 put in (iv) ,we wiil get
1/6+1/C=1/5
C=30
Similarly, we will get A=15 and B=10
so in increasing order it will be BAC - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(36) No(7)
- Answer is D as it was asked arrange in increasing order of time taken so maximum time taken was by c
then a and then b so answer should have been bac - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(15) No(4)
- Cab is the answer
- 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(3)
- d)none of these
- 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(2)

- how come himaan is best solution
gaurav singh solved it with proper explanation
- 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- a+b=6....(1); b+c=7.5....(2); c+a=10....(3);
so,2(a+b+c)=23.5; a+b+c=11.75.....(4);
equation 4-1,we get c=5.75; equation 4-2,we get a=4.25; equation 4-3,we get b=1.75
so,arrange in increasing order by their work is bac - 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(1)
- quetion is to arrange in incresing order by work , not by time they taken.
So the work of b is more than a and work of a is more than c.
so ans should be a) cab - 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- ans is cab
- 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(1)
