Nikhil and Omkar can finish a project alone in 18 days and 24 days respectively. With the help of Pooja, the three of them finish it in 8 days. How many days would Pooja alone take?
- 48 days
- 72 days
- 30 days
- 36 days
Answer and explanation
Answer: D. 36 days
Explanation: Pooja's rate = 1/8 − 1/18 − 1/24 = (9 − 4 − 3)/72 = 2/72 = 1/36, so she alone needs 36 days.
