Question : A can-do $\frac{1}{5}$ of a piece of work in 20 days, B can do 30% of the same work in 36 days, and C can do 80% of the same work in 160 days. B and C together started and worked for x days. After x days B left the work, and A joined C and both completed the remaining work in (x - 41) days. If the ratio between the work done by (B + C) together to the work done by (A + C) together is 19: 6, then what fraction of the same work can be completed by C alone in 2x days?
Option 1: $\frac{57}{100}$
Option 2: $\frac{13}{25}$
Option 3: $\frac{19}{25}$
Option 4: $\frac{6}{25}$
Correct Answer: $\frac{57}{100}$
Solution : A can-do $\frac{1}{5}$ of a piece of work in 20 days ⇒ A can finish complete work in 100 days. B can complete 30% of the work in 36 days ⇒ B can finish complete work in 120 days. C can complete 80% of the work in 160 days ⇒ C can finish the complete work in 200 days. B and C together started and worked for x days ⇒ efficiency of B and C = $\frac{1}{120}+\frac{1}{200}$ = $\frac{8}{600}$ In x days, work done by B and C = $\frac{8}{600}$x A and C together worked for (x - 41) days ⇒ Efficiencies of A and C = $\frac{1}{100}+\frac{1}{200}$ = $\frac{3}{200}$ In (x – 41) days, work done by A and C = $\frac{3}{200}$(x - 41) According to the question $\frac{8}{600}$x: $\frac{3}{200}$(x - 41) = 19: 6 ⇒ $x$ = $\frac{57 × 41}{41}$ = 57 Now, The same work be completed by C alone in 2x days = 2 × 57 × $\frac{1}{200}$ = $\frac{57}{100}$ Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{57}{100}$.

Question : A can do $\frac{2}{5}$ of a work in 6 days and B can do $\frac{2}{3}$ of the same work in 12 days. A and B worked together for 6 days. C alone completed the remaining work in 8 days. A and C, working together, will complete the same work in:
Question : A can do $\frac{4}{5}$th of a work in 20 days and B can do $\frac{3}{4}$th of the same work in 15 days. They work together for 10 days. C alone completes the remaining work in 1 day. B and C together can complete $\frac{3}{4}$th of the same work in:
Question : A and B together can do a certain work in $x$ days. Working alone, A and B can do the same work in ($x$ + 8) and ($x$ + 18) days, respectively. A and B together will complete $\frac{5}{6}$th of the same work in:
Question : A can do a piece of work in 25 days, and B can do the same in 30 days. They work together for 5 days, how much of the work is left?
Question : A can complete one-third of a work in 10 days and B can do $\frac{3}{5}$ th of the same work in 24 days. They worked together for 10 days. The remaining work was completed by C alone in 15 days. In how many days can C alone do $\frac{2}{3}$rd of the same work?
