Instructions

Each question consists of a statement and/or a question followed by two statements I and II. Identify an option which provides sufficient data to answer the given question. Mark your answer as
A. if the data in statement I is sufficient and II is not required;
B. if the data in statement II is sufficient and I is not required;
C. if the data in both statements is necessary;
D. if the data in both statements is not sufficient to answer the question.

Question 54

B alone can complete a work in 12 days. How many days will A, B and C together takes to complete the work?
I. A and B together can complete the work in 3 days.
II. B and C together can complete the work in 6 days.

Solution

Assume total work to be done = 12 units. Then $$\eta_B$$ = 1 unit/day

Using only statement I, we get $$\eta_A$$+ $$\eta_B$$ = 12/3 = 4unit/day. 

Thus only $$\eta_A$$ can be calculated.

Similarly using statement II, we can calculate $$\eta_C$$ only.


Using both the statement together will give $$\eta_A$$ as well as $$\eta_C$$  and thus we will get the required answer. Hence option C is correct
