Correct Answer: 24
Solution : Use : Work = Efficiency × Time According to the question LCM of $\frac{80}{3}$, 48 and 30 = 720 ⇒ Efficiency of A and B = 720 × $\frac{3}{80}$ = 27 ⇒ Efficiency of B and C = $\frac{720}{48}$ = 15 ⇒ Efficiency of A and C = $\frac{720}{30}$ = 24 Total Time Taken by A, B, and C to Complete Work = $\frac{27+15+24}{2}=\frac{64}{2}= 32$ days Now, Time Taken by A, B, and C to complete the 60 % of the work = $\frac{\text{60% of the total work}}{\text{Time}}$ = $\frac{720}{33 – 15}$ × $\frac{60}{100}$ = $\frac{720}{18}$ × $\frac{3}{5}$ = $24$ days Hence, the correct answer is 24.
