Amit can do a piece of work in 14 hours and Gopal can do it in 21 hours. With the assistance of Akshay, they completed the work in 7 hours. In how many hours can Akshay alone do the work?
  • A42
  • B44
  • C41
  • D43
Correct answer: A

Explanation

Amit's work in 7 hours = 7/14 = 1/2 and Gopal's = 7/21 = 1/3. Akshay did 1 – 1/2 – 1/3 = 1/6 of the work in 7 hours, so he alone needs 42 hours.
