Correct Answer: 10 days
Solution : Time A needs to do 100% of the task alone = 4 × 5 = 20 days Time B needs to do 100% of the task alone = 10 × 3 = 30 days Let the total work be LCM of (20, 30) = 60 units Total work = Time × Efficiency A's efficiency = $\frac{60}{20}$ = 3 units per day B's efficiency = $\frac{60}{30}$ = 2 units per day Work completed by A and B together in 9 days is (3 + 2) × 9 = 45 units Work still to be done is (60 – 45) = 15 units The remaining work can be finished by C in 6 days. C's efficiency = $\frac{15}{6}$ = 2.5 units B and C's combined efficiency = (2 + 2.5) = 4.5 units Now, 75% of the total work is 75% of 60 = 45 units Required time for B and C working together = $\frac{45}{4.5}$ = 10 days Hence, the correct answer is 10 days.
