SSC CGL - 26 July 2023 - Shift 3 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q75

A, B and C can finish a work in 15 days working alternately in the same order. The efficiency of A is the same as that of B, and the efficiency of C is equal to that of A. In how many days will the work be finished if they work alternately in the order C, A and B?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 15.

Given that 

Efficiency of A = B = C = 1 unit (let)

Hence 3 units of work will be done in 3 days by A, B, and C in this order

⇒ The total work = Work done in 15 days = 15 units

Hence C, A, and B, in this order will do 3 units in 3 days 

Hence, they will complete 15 units of work in 15 days
