    Solution

    ATQ, Let, total work = LCM of (15 and 12) = 60 units Efficiency of ‘Bheem’ = 60/12 = 5 units/day Efficiency of ‘Cherry’ = 60/20 = 3 units/day Efficiency of ‘Arjun’ = (3 + 5) × 0.5 = 4 units/day Combined efficiency of all 3 of them = (3 + 5 + 4) = 12 units/day Required time taken to complete the work = (60/12) = 5 days
