    To finish a work Raju will take three times as long as Suman and Vinit together and Vinit will take twice as long as Raju and Suman together. If the three persons Raju, Suman and Vinit together finish the work in 28 days, then how long will Suman take to finish the work alone?

    A)  \[\text{67}\frac{1}{5}days\] 

    B)  \[\text{65}\frac{2}{5}days\]

    C)  \[\text{67}\frac{3}{5}days\] 

    D)  \[\text{65}\frac{1}{5}days\]

    E)  None of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[\text{3}\times \]Raju's daily work = (Suinan + Vinit)'s daily work \[4\times \]Raju's daily work = (Raju + Suman + Vinit)'s daily work \[=\frac{1}{28}\] \[\therefore \] Raju's daily work \[=\frac{1}{28\times 4}=\frac{1}{112}\] Again, \[2\times \]Vinit's daily work = (Raju + Suman)'s daily work \[3\times \] Vinit's daily work = (Raju+Suman+Vinit)'s daily work\[=\frac{1}{28}\] \[\therefore \]Vinit?s daily work \[=\frac{1}{28\times 3}=\frac{1}{84}\] Suman's daily work \[=\frac{1}{28}-\left( \frac{1}{112}+\frac{1}{84} \right)=\frac{4-1+3}{112}\] \[=\frac{12-(3+4)}{336}=\frac{5}{336}\] Hence Suman can finish the work in \[\frac{336}{5}days,\,\,ie\,\,67\frac{1}{5}days\] Quicker Method: Ration of efficiencies: \[\text{R : S + V = 1 : 3}...\text{(1)}\] \[\text{V : R + S = 1 : 2}...(2)\] \[(1)\times 3\](Sum of terms of equation (2) And \[(2)\times 4\] (Sum of ratio terms of equation (1)) \[\Rightarrow R:S+V=3:9\] \[V:R+S=4:8\] \[\Rightarrow R:V:S=3:4:5\] \[(\because S=9-4=5)\] Now, R+V:S with 3+4+5=12 efficiencies they do work in 28 days. \[\Rightarrow \] With I efficiency work can be done in \[28\times 12\] days \[\therefore \] Suman with 5 efficiency can do it in. \[\frac{28\times 12}{5}=\frac{336}{5}=67\frac{1}{5}days\]
