    Question

    J, K and L together can complete a book in 20 days. J and K together can complete the same book in 25 days. L alone can complete the same book in how many days?

    A.

    125 days

    B.

    110 days

    C.

    100 days

    D.

    140 days

    Correct option is C

    Given:
    J, K, and L together can complete the book in 20 days, and J and K together can complete it in 25 days.
    Concept Used:
    The LCM method is used to calculate the total work and individual work rates.
    Solution:
    Let the total work be the LCM of 20 and 25, which is 100 units
    Efficiency of J + K + L = 100 / 20 = 5 units per day.
    Efficiency of J + K = 100 / 25 = 4 units per day.
    Efficiency of L alone = Work rate of (J + K + L) - Work rate of (J + K)
    Efficiency of L = 5 - 4 = 1 unit per day.
    Therefore, L alone can complete the 100 units of work in:
    Time taken by L = 100 / 1 = 100 days.
