Question : A can do a certain piece of work in 2.4 times the number of days in which B and C together can do it. If A and B together can do the same piece of work in 27 days and C alone can do it in 75 days, then how many days will B take to do this piece of work alone?
Option 1: 54
Option 2: 48
Option 3: 45
Option 4: 42
Correct Answer: 45
Solution : (A + B)'s 1 day's work = $\frac{1}{27}$ C's 1 day's work = $\frac{1}{75}$ (A + B + C)'s 1 day's work = $\frac{1}{27}+\frac{1}{75} = \frac{34}{675}$ ---(1) A's 1 day's work = $\frac{1}{2.4}$(B + C)'s 1 day's work ---(2) $\frac{3.4}{2.4}$(B + C)'s 1 day's work = $\frac{34}{675}$ ⇒ (B + C)'s 1 day's work = $\frac{24}{675}$ A's 1 day work =$ \frac{34}{675}- \frac{24}{675}=\frac{10}{675}$ we know (A + B)'s 1 day's work = $\frac{1}{27}$ $\therefore$ B's 1 day's work will be = $\frac{1}{27} - \frac{10}{675}$ $\therefore$ B can do the whole task in $=\frac{{15}}{{675}}= 45$ days Hence, the correct answer is 45.
