Correct Answer: 24 days
Solution : Given: A can do a piece of work in 20 days and B in 30 days. They work together for 7 days and then both leave the job. The total work of A and B is LCM of (20, 30) = 60 units So, the efficiency of A $=\frac{60}{20} = 3$ Efficiency of B $=\frac{60}{30} = 2$ Total work done by A and B in 7 days = (3 + 2) × 7 = 5 × 7 = 35 units The remaining work is 60 – 35 = 25, which is done by C in 10 days. (Efficiency of C) × 10 = 25 ⇒ Efficiency of C = $\frac{5}{2}$ Now, the time taken by C to complete the whole work is $\frac{60}{\frac{5}{2}}$ = 24 days Hence, the correct answer is 24 days.
