Below is given a question followed by four statements I, II, & III. The question may (or may not) be answered using any or more of the given statements. You have to decide which of these statement(s) is/are sufficient to answer the given question. Pick out the appropriate option. Find the value of x I. Kiran and Rajpal can do a piece of work in x days II. Mahesh is twice efficient then Kiran III. Kiran can do work in x + 80 days and Rajpal can do in x + 20 days Correct Answer I and III are sufficient

Statement I

1/Kiran + 1/ Rajpal = 1/x

Statement II

Efficiency of Mahesh = 2 × Efficiency of Kiran

Statement III

⇒ 1/(x + 80) + 1/(x + 20) = 1/x

⇒ (x + 20 + 80 + x) / (x + 80)(x + 20) = 1/x

⇒ 100x + 2x2 = x2 + 100x + 1600

⇒ x2 = 1600

⇒ x = 40

∴ Statement II is not sufficient, I & III is needed to answer the question
