A piece of work was finished by A, B and C together. A and B together finished 60% of the work and B and C together finished 70% of the work. Who among the three is most efficient?
1). A
2). B
3). C
4). A or B
Let the total amount of work be a
⇒ Work done by A and B together = 0.6a
⇒ Work done by C alone = a – 0.6a = 0.4a
⇒ Work done by B and C together = 0.7a
⇒ Work done by B alone = 0.7a – 0.4a = 0.3a
⇒ Work done by A alone = a – 0.7a = 0.3a
∴ the most efficient is C
