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.
