Raj alone can complete the work in 20 days and Radha alone can complete the work in M days while Ram alone can complete the work in 24 days. Raj and Radha can complete half of the work in 6 days. Radha works for 18 days then Raj and Ram join her to complete the remaining work. In what time total work gets completed? Correct Answer <p style="">21.2 days</p>
Given:
Raj's 1 day's work = 1/20
Radha's 1 day's work = 1/M
Ram's 1 day’s work = 1/24
Calculation:
According to the question,
(1/20 + 1/M) = 1/12
⇒ 1/M = 1/12 – 1/20 = 1/30 = 1 day work of Radha
Total work done in 18 days by Radha = 18 × 1/30 = 3/5
(Raj + Radha + Ram)’s 1 days work = 1/20 + 1/30 + 1/24 = 1/8
⇒ Remaining work after 10 days = 1 – 3/5 = 2/5
Total time taken by all 3 to complete the remaining work = 2/5 × 8 = 3.2
∴ Total time required to complete the work = 18 + 3.2 = 21.2 days
