If A, B and C can complete a work in 6 days. If A can work twice faster than B and thrice faster than C, then the number of days C alone can complete the work is :

a

33 days

b

44 days

c

22 days

d

11 days

Answer : Option A
Explanation :
Let time taken by A = x days ∴ Time taken by B = 2x days Time taken by C = 3x days According to the question, 1x+12x+13x=16\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{2 x}+\frac{1}{3 x}=\frac{1}{6} 6+3+26x=16116x=16\Rightarrow \frac{6+3+2}{6 x}=\frac{1}{6} \Rightarrow \frac{11}{6 x}=\frac{1}{6} 6x=6×11\Rightarrow 6 x=6 \times 11 x=6×116=11\Rightarrow x=\frac{6 \times 11}{6}=11 \therefore Time taken by C\mathrm{C} alone =3x=3 x =3×11=33=3 \times 11=33 days Alternative: According to the question,

∴ Total work = (A + B + C) × 6

= 11 × 6 = 66

\therefore Time taken by C\mathrm{C} to complete the work

= Total work  Efficiency of C=662=33 days =\frac{\text { Total work }}{\text { Efficiency of } \mathrm{C}}=\frac{66}{2}=33 \text { days }
