Correct Answer: 23


Solution : Given :
A can complete work = 30 days
B can complete work = 45 days
C can complete work = 90 days
Total work =  LCM of 30, 45 and 90 = 90 units
Efficiency of A $=\frac{90}{30} = 3$ units
Efficiency of B $=\frac{90}{45}=2$ units
Efficiency of C $=\frac{90}{90}=1$ unit
Work done by A, B and C in 3 days =  $3A + B + C = 3\times 3\ + 2\ +\ 1\ =\ 12$ units
Work done by A, B and C in 21 days = $12\ \times\ 7\ =\ 84$ units
Remaining Work = 90 – 84 = 6 units
A will complete remaining work = $\frac{6}{3} = 2$ days
Total days = 21 + 2 = 23 days
Hence, the correct answer is 23 days.
