    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
