Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
- As A is helped by B and C every third day. A works for 3 days while B and C work for 1 day in every three days.
$ \therefore $ Work done by A, B and C in 3 days
$ =\frac{3}{20}+\frac{1}{30}+\frac{1}{60}=\frac{12}{60}=\frac{1}{5} $
So, A, B and C in 3 days can do $ \frac{1}{5} $ of the work,
Hence, A, B and C complete the work in 15 days.
