Rashi can do a piece of work in 30 days, Roshan can do in 50 days and Ritesh can do in 40 days. Rashi and Roshan worked for 3 days together and Rashi left. Ritesh joined Roshan for 2 days and then Roshan left. Now, Ritesh completed the work. In total how many days did work complete?  

Rashi can do a piece of work in 30 days, Roshan can do in 50 days and Ritesh can do in 40 days. Rashi and Roshan worked for 3 days together and Rashi left. Ritesh joined Roshan for 2 days and then Roshan left. Now, Ritesh completed the work. In total how many days did work complete?   Correct Answer 35 days

Given:

Rashi can do a piece of work in = 30 days

Roshan can do a piece of work in = 50 days

Ritesh can do a piece of work in = 40 days

Formula Used:

Time = Work/Efficiency

Calculation:

Person

Work can be  complete in days

Work done by Rashi and Roshan in 3 days = 3 × 32 = 96 units

Work done by Ritesh and Roshan in 2 days = 2 × 27 = 54 units

Remaining work = Total work – Work done in 5 days

⇒ 600 units – 150 units

⇒ 450 units

Days taken by Ritesh = Remaining work/Efficiency

⇒ 450/15 = 30 days

Total days = 3 + 2 + 30 = 35 days

∴ In total they did work for 35 days.
