Q)

Salim takes 8 days to finish a piece of work. Manoj takes 12 days to finish the same piece of work. Raj works twice as fast as Salim. How many days will all three of them together take to finish the same piece of work?


  • Explanation

    According to the question,

    In 1 day

    Manoj can complete 112th of the work 

    Salim can complete 18th of the work

    ∴ Raj can complete=2×18=14 th of the work

    Then, (Manoj+Salim+Raj) can complete 

    =112+18+14=2+3+624=1124

    ∴  (Manoj+Salim+Raj)'s together will complete the work in 2411 or 2211 days.

     Hence option E is the correct.
