Correct Answer: 4 days
Solution : X, Y, and Z can complete a work in 5 days, 15 days, and 30 days, respectively Let the total work = LCM (5, 15, 30) = 30 Units. Efficiency of X = $\frac{30}5 = 6$ units/day Efficiency of Y = $\frac{30}{15} = 2$ units/day Efficiency of Z = $\frac{30}{30} = 1$ units/day Amount of work to be done in two days = work done by X alone on day 1 + work done by X, Y, and Z together on day 2 = $6+6+2+1$ = $15$ units So, 30 units of work be completed in 4 days. Hence, the correct answer is 4 days.

Question : Let $x, y, z$ be fractions such that $x<y<z$. If $z$ is divided by $x$, the result is $\frac{5}{2}$, which exceeds $y$ by $\frac{7}{4}$. If $x+y+z=1 \frac{11}{12}$, then the ratio of $(z-x):(y-x)$ is:
Question : $\text { If } x^2+y^2+z^2=x y+y z+z x \text { and } x=1 \text {, then find the value of } \frac{10 x^4+5 y^4+7 z^4}{13 x^2 y^2+6 y^2 z^2+3 z^2 x^2}$.
