Let the efficiency of A be 100

Given that B is thrice as efficient as A

⇒ Efficiency of B = 300

Also given that C is 0.75 times as efficient as A

⇒ Efficiency of C = 75

From the given data,we need to find the ratio of number of days A, B and C when they work individually

∴ LCM of the 100, 300 and 75 is 300

∴ Ratio of number of days when their work individually = 300/100 : 300/300 : 300 /75

= 3 : 1 : 4
