Question : A can do $\frac{1}{3}$rd of a piece of work in 32 days, B can do $37 \frac{1}{2}$% of the same work in 24 days, while C can do 60% of the same work in 48 days. B and C together started and worked for x days. After x days, B left and A joined C and together, completed the remaining work in (x + 8) days. If the ratio of the work done by (B + C) together to the work done by (A + C) together is 9 : 11, then what fraction of the same work can be completed by C alone in 3.5x days?
Option 1: $\frac{18}{25}$
Option 2: $\frac{4}{5}$
Option 3: $\frac{7}{10}$
Option 4: $\frac{3}{4}$

Correct Answer: $\frac{7}{10}$
Solution : Given: A can do $\frac{1}{3}$ of a task in 32 days. Total work done = Number of days × Efficiency So, A can complete the task in 32 × 3 = 96 days B can do $37 \frac{1}{2}$% of the same task in 24 days, So, B can complete the task in $24 × \frac{200}{75} = 64$ days C can do 60% of the same task in 48 days. So, C can complete the task in $48 × \frac{100}{60} = 80$ days Total work is LCM of (96, 64, and 80) = 960 units Efficiency of A is $\frac{960}{96} =10$ units/day Efficiency of B is $\frac{960}{64} = 15$ units/day Efficiency of C is $\frac{960}{80} = 12$ units/day Work done by (B + C) in x days is (15 + 12)x = 27x The remaining work done by (A + C) in (x + 8) days is (10 + 12)(x + 8) = 22x + 176 According to the question, So, 27x + 22x + 176 = 960 $\therefore$ x = 16 So, the fraction of the task that C can do alone in 3.5x days is $\frac{3.5×16×12}{960}=\frac{7}{10}$ Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{7}{10}$.

Question : A, B, and C can do a job in 6 days, 12 days and 15 days respectively. After $\frac{1}{8}$th of the work is completed, C leaves the job. The rest of the work is done by A and B together. The time taken to finish the work is:
Question : A can do $\frac{1}{3}$ of a work in 30 days. B can do $\frac{2}{5}$ of the same work in 24 days. They worked together for 20 days. C completed the remaining work in 8 days. Working together A, B and C will complete the same work in:
Question : A alone can do a work in 14 days. B alone can do the same work in 28 days. C alone can do the same work in 56 days. They started the work together and completed the work such that B was not working in the last 2 days and A did not work in the last 3 days. In how many days
Question : X can do a piece of work in $p$ days and Y can do the same work in $q$ days. Then the number of days in which X and Y can together do that work is:
Question : A can do 20% of a task in 4 days and B can do $33 \frac{1}{3}$% of the same task in 10 days. They worked together for 9 days and then, C completed the remaining work in 6 days. B and C together will complete 75% of the same work in:
