  • Question
  • Two persons Shyam and Rahim can do a job in 32 days together. Rahim can do the same job in 48 days alone. They started working together and after working 8 days Rahim is replaced by a third person Ram whose efficiency is half that of Rahim. Find in how many days the remaining work will be completed by both Shyam and Ram together?


  • Options
  • A. 16 days
  • B. 72/5 days
  • C. 15 days
  • D. 96/5 days

  • Correct Answer
  • 72/5 days 

    Explanation

    Work done by Shyam and Rahim in 8 days = 8/32 = 1/4

    Remaining work to be done by Shyam and Ram = 1 - 1/4 = 3/4

    Given efficieny of Ram is half of Rahim i.e, as Rahim can do the work in 48 days, Ram can do the work in 24 days.

    One day work of Ram and Shyam = (1/32 - 1/48) + 1/24 = 5/96

    Hence, the total work can be done by Shyam and Ram together in 96/5 days.

     

    Therefore, remaining work 3/4 can be done by them in 3/4 x 96/5 = 72/5 = 14.4 days.
