If A, B and C can do a work in 6 days, 9 days and 11 days, respectively, then, working together, how many days will they take to do the work?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. .
Let the total work to be done LCM(6, 9, 11) be 198 units.
Total work = Efficiency × Time
Efficiency of A = = 33 units/day
Efficiency of B = = 22 units/day
Effciency of C = = 18 units/day
Efficiency of A, B and C together = 33 + 22 + 18 = 73 units/day
Total time taken by A, B and C together to complete the work = =
Hence the total time taken by A, B and C together is .
