The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will analyze the work done by A, B, and C based on the information provided. ### Step 1: Understand the total work done The total work is considered to be 100%. ### Step 2: Calculate the work done by C From the first piece of information, A and B together do 70% of the work. Therefore, the remaining work done by C can be calculated as: \[ \text{Work done by C} = 100\% - 70\% = 30\% \] ### Step 3: Calculate the work done by A From the second piece of information, B and C together do 50% of the work. Therefore, the remaining work done by A can be calculated as: \[ \text{Work done by A} = 100\% - 50\% = 50\% \] ### Step 4: Calculate the work done by B Now we can find out how much work B has done. We know: - A has done 50% - C has done 30% - A and B together did 70% of the work. We can set up the equation: \[ \text{Work done by A} + \text{Work done by B} = 70\% \] Substituting A's work: \[ 50\% + \text{Work done by B} = 70\% \] Solving for B: \[ \text{Work done by B} = 70\% - 50\% = 20\% \] ### Step 5: Summarize the work done by each person Now we have: - Work done by A = 50% - Work done by B = 20% - Work done by C = 30% ### Step 6: Determine the most efficient worker Since efficiency is directly proportional to the amount of work done, we can conclude: - A is the most efficient as A has done 50% of the work. ### Conclusion Thus, the answer to the question is that A is the most efficient worker. ---
