"Amit" and "Bhanu" have respective completion times of 20 and 30 days for a task.

PYQPulse · Answer

Explanation: ATQ, Let the total work = 60 units (L.C.M of 20, 30 and 10) Therefore, efficiency of ‘Amit’ = 60/20 = 3 units/day Efficiency of ‘Bhanu’ = 60/30 = 2 units/day Efficiency of ‘Chintu’ = 60/10 = 6 units/day Let ‘Amit’ and ‘Chintu’ worked for ‘d’ days According to the question, 5d + 8d + 4 × 2 = 60 13d = 52 Or, d = 4 Therefore, work will get completed in d + d + 4 = 12 days Therefore, work done by ‘Bhanu’ = 12 × 2 = 24 units Required ratio = 24/60 = 2/5
