Question

Manoj can do a piece of work in 8 hours. Anand can do it in 8 hours. With the assistance of Anil, they completed the work in 2 hours. In how many hours can Anil alone do it?

A.

4

B.

3

C.

6

D.

5

Correct option is A

Given:

Manoj's time = 8 hours

Anand's time = 8 hours

All three together finish in 2 hours

Formula Used:

Efficiency = Total Work ÷ Time

Solution:

Let Total Work = 8 units

Then:

Manoj's efficiency = 88\frac{8}{8}​ = 1 unit/hour

Anand's efficiency =88 \frac{8}{8}​ = 1 unit/hour

Let Anil’s efficiency = x units/hour

So, in 1 hour, total efficiency of the three = 1 + 1 + x

In 2 hours, total work = 8 units:

2(1 + 1 + x) = 8

2(2 + x) = 8

2 + x = 4

x = 2

So, Anil’s efficiency = 2 units/hour

Time = 82 \frac{8}{2}​ = 4 hours
