    Question

    W and X together can complete a work in 40 days. X and Y together can complete the same work in 60 days. If W, X and Y all work together, then the same work gets completed in 30 days. How many days will W and Y together take to complete the same work?

    A.

    45 days

    B.

    40 days

    C.

    50 days

    D.

    36 days

    Correct option is B

    Given:
    W and X together = 40 days
    X and Y together = 60 days
     W, X, and Y together = 30 days
    Solution:

    Total Work = LCM of 40 , 60 and 30 = 120 unit

    Efficiency of W and X together = 3 unit per day
    Efficiency of X and Y together = 2unit per day
    Efficiency of  W, X, and Y together = 4 unit per day

    Efficiency of W = Efficiency of  W, X, and Y  - Efficiency of X and Y 

    Efficiency of W = 4- 2 = 2 unit per day.

    Efficiency of Y = Efficiency of  W, X, and Y  - Efficiency of W and X

    Efficiency of Y= 4- 3 = 1 unit per day.

    Time taken by W and Y to complete the whole work = 120 /(2+1) = 120/3 = 40 days
