Correct option is D
Given:
Ameesha completes the task in 14 days.
Bhavya completes the task in 35 days.
All three (Ameesha + Bhavya + Chitra) together complete the task in 6 days.
Concept Used:
Work and time problems are solved using the concept of efficiency or work per day.
If a person completes a work in D days, then their one day work is .
Formula Used:
Solution:
Ameesha's one day work =
Bhavya's one day work =
Together (Ameesha + Bhavya + Chitra), one day work =
Ameesha and Bhavya's work together in one day =
Chitra's one day work
So, Chitra alone can complete the task in 15 days.
Alternate Solution:
Total work = LCM of 14, 35, and 6 = 210 units
Ameesha's 1 day work = 210 ÷ 14 = 15 units/day
Bhavya's 1 day work = 210 ÷ 35 = 6 units/day
Ameesha + Bhavya + Chitra's 1 day work = 210 ÷ 6 = 35 units/day
Chitra's 1 day work = 35 - (15 + 6) = 35 - 21 = 14 units/day
Time taken by Chitra to complete 210 units alone = 210 ÷ 14 = 15 days
