    Question

    Anshu takes twice as long to complete a task as Babloo does, and three times as long as Chandu does. Together, they take 3 days to finish the work. How much time does Anshu take to complete the task alone?

    A.

    24 days

    B.

    12 days

    C.

    3 days

    D.

    18 days

    Correct option is D

    Given:
    Anshu takes twice as much time as Bablu and thrice as much time as Chandu to finish a piece of work.
    Together it takes 3 days to finish the work.
    Formula Used:
    Efficiency = Total WorkTime\frac{\text{Total Work}}{\text{Time}}​​
    Solution:
    Let the efficiency of Anshu, Bablu and Chandu be A, B and C.
    Ratio of time of Anshu, Bablu and Chandu = 6 : 3 : 2
    Ratio of efficiency of Anshu, Bablu and Chandu = 16:13:12=1:2:3\frac{1}{6} : \frac{1}{3} : \frac{1}{2} = 1 : 2 : 3​​
    Combined efficiency of them = (1 + 2 + 3) units/day = 6 units/day
    Total work = 6 × 3 = 18 units
    Time taken by Anshu = 181\frac{18}1​ = 18 days
