Correct Answer: 15
Solution : Given: Rakshit takes 20 hours to clean a drain. Ajay takes 12 hours to clean the drain. Rakshit, Ajay, and Satish take 5 hours to clean the drain. Total work = LCM of (20, 12, 5) = 60 units Efficiency of Rakshit = $\frac{60}{20}$ = 3 units/hours Efficiency of Ajay = $\frac{60}{12}$ = 5 units/hours Efficiency of Rakshit, Ajay, and Satish = $\frac{60}{5}$ = 12 units/hours Efficiency of Satish = 12 – 8 = 4 units/hours Time taken by Satish to complete the work = $\frac{60}{4}$ = 15 hours Hence, the correct answer is 15.
