Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven:
Raju finishes work in = 20 days
Sunil finishes work in = 30 days
Vishal finishes work in = 40 days
Concept used:
Total work done = LCM(20,30,40)
= 120
Work done by Raju in 1 day(R) = \({120\over20}=6\)
Work done by Sunil in 1 day (S)= \({120\over30}=4\)
Work done by Vishal in 1 day (V)= \({120\over40}=3\)
Calculation:
Work done on first day collectively:
R+S+V = 6+4+0 = 10
Work done on second day collectively:
R+S+V = 6 + 0 + 3 = 9
So it will take 12 days to complete 114 work
on 13th day the turn will be of Raju and sunil and they will do 10 work in 1 day
6 work is still remaining
Days to required complete 6 work = \({6\over10}={3\over5}\)
Total days to complete 120 work = 12 + \(3\over5\)
\(={63\over5}\)
\(={12{{3} \over 5}}\)
∴ Raju can finish work in \(\bf {12{{3} \over 5}}\) days .
