    Question

    Ameesha can complete a task by herself in 14 days, while it takes Bhavya 35 days to complete it alone. Together with Chitra, they can complete the task in 6 days. How many days will Chitra need to complete the task alone?

    A.

    43

    B.

    28

    C.

    14

    D.

    15

    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 1D\frac 1D​.
    Formula Used:
    One day work=1Total days to complete the workChitra’s one day work=(One day work of all three)(Ameesha’s one day work+Bhavya’s one day work)\text{One day work} = \frac{1}{\text{Total days to complete the work}} \\\text{Chitra's one day work} = \left( \text{One day work of all three} \right) - \left( \text{Ameesha's one day work} + \text{Bhavya's one day work} \right)​​
    Solution:
    Ameesha's one day work = 114\frac {1}{14}​​
    Bhavya's one day work = 135\frac {1}{35}
    Together (Ameesha + Bhavya + Chitra), one day work = 16\frac {1}{6}
    Ameesha and Bhavya's work together in one day =  114+135=5+270=770=110\frac{1}{14} + \frac{1}{35} = \frac{5 + 2}{70} = \frac{7}{70} = \frac{1}{10} \\

    Chitra's one day work =16110=5330=230=115 = \frac{1}{6} - \frac{1}{10} = \frac{5 - 3}{30} = \frac{2}{30} = \frac{1}{15}
    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
