    Question

    Ram can complete a piece work in 15 days, Rohan in 25 days, and Rohit in 30 days. Rohan and Rohit worked together for 2 days and then Rohit was replaced by Ram. In how many days altogether was the work completed?

    A.

    10 days

    B.

    8 days

    C.

    12 days

    D.

    7 days

    Correct option is A

    Given:
    Ram can complete the work in 15 days.
    Rohan can complete the work in 25 days.
    Rohit can complete the work in 30 days.
    Rohan and Rohit worked together for 2 days and then Rohit was replaced by Ram.
    Formula Used:
    Work rate = 1 / (number of days to complete the work)
    Total work done = Work rate × Time
    Solution:
    1. Calculate the work rates:
    Work rate of Ram = 1 / 15
    Work rate of Rohan = 1 / 25
    Work rate of Rohit = 1 / 30
    2. Calculate the work done by Rohan and Rohit in 2 days:
    Combined work rate of Rohan and Rohit = (1 / 25) + (1 / 30)
    Combined work rate of Rohan and Rohit = (6 + 5) / 150 = 11 / 150
    Work done by Rohan and Rohit in 2 days = (11 / 150) × 2 = 22 / 150 = 11 / 75
    3. Calculate the remaining work:
    Total work = 1
    Remaining work = 1 - (11 / 75) = 64 / 75
    4. Calculate the time taken by Rohan and Ram to complete the remaining work:
    Combined work rate of Rohan and Ram = (1 / 25) + (1 / 15)
    Combined work rate of Rohan and Ram = (3 + 5) / 75 = 8 / 75
    Time taken to complete the remaining work = (Remaining work) / (Combined work rate)
    Time = (64 / 75) / (8 / 75) = 64 / 8 = 8 days
    5. Calculate the total time taken to complete the work:
    Total time = Time worked by Rohan and Rohit + Time worked by Rohan and Ram
    Total time = 2 days + 8 days = 10 days
