Correct Answer: 90 days
Solution : Given: A and B can do a piece of work in 18 days. The work done by A and B in 1 day = $\frac{1}{18}$. B and C together can do it in 30 days. The work done by B and C in 1 day = $\frac{1}{30}$. Total work = Time × Efficiency The ratio of efficiency of A and C = $2k:k$ According to the question, (A + B)'s efficiency – (B + C)'s efficiency = $2k – k$ ⇒ $\frac{1}{18}–\frac{1}{30}=k$ ⇒ $k=\frac{5–3}{90}$ ⇒ $k=\frac{2}{90}$ ⇒ $k=\frac{1}{45}$ The efficiency of A = $2k=\frac{2}{45}$. The efficiency of B = $\frac{1}{18}–\frac{2}{45} = \frac{5–4}{90}=\frac{1}{90}$ ⇒ B completes the work in 90 days. Hence, the correct answer is 90 days.
