Understanding

Application

Ratio of the efficiencies of A, B and C is 2 : 5 : 3

Let the efficiency of A, B and C are 2x, 5x and 3x respectively

Together they can complete the work in 27 days.

 

Total work

= 27 × (2x + 5x + 3x)

= 270x

4/9th part of total work

Time required by B and C to complete 4/9th of total work

= 120x/8x

= 15 days
