Answer : 1. "15 days"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 15 days Explanation: In one day work done by K = 1/20 Work done by K in 2 days = 1/10 Work done by K,L,M on 3rd day =1/20 + 1/30 + 1/60 = 1/10 Therefore, workdone in 3 days is = 1/10 + 1/10 = 1/5 1/5th of the work will be completed at the end of 3 days. The remaining work = 1 - 1/5 = 4/5 1/5 of work is completed in 3 days Total work wiil be done in 3 x 5 = 15 days.
