1. Abdul, Bimal, Charlie and Dilbar can finish a task in 10, 12, 15 and 18 days respectively. They can either choose to work or remain absent on a particular day. If 50 percent of the total work gets completed after 3 days, then, which of the following options is possible?

Let us assume the amount of work to be finished = LCM of {10, 12, 15, 18} = 180 units. The amount of work which Abdul can complete in a day = $$dfrac{180}{10}$$ = 18 units. The amount of work which Bimal can complete in a day = $$dfrac{180}{12}$$ = 15 units.
The amount of work which Charlie can complete in a day = $$dfrac{180}{15}$$ = 12 units.
The amount of work which Dilbar can complete in a day = $$dfrac{180}{18}$$ = 10 units. It is given that 50 percent of the total work gets completed after 3 days. Therefore, we can say that 90 units of work was completed in 3 days. Let us check options.
Option A: Each of them worked for exactly 2 days.
In this case amount of work completed = 2*(10+15+12+18) = 110 units. Option B: Bimal and Dilbar worked for 1 day each, Charlie worked for 2 days and Abdul worked for all 3 days.
In this case amount of work completed = 1*(10+15)+2*(12)+3*(18) = 103 units.
Option C: Abdul and Charlie worked for 2 days each, Dilbar worked for 1 day and Bimal worked for all 3 days.
In this case amount of work completed = 1*(10)+3*(15)+2*(18+12) = 115 units.
Option D: Abdul and Dilbar worked for 2 days each, Charlie worked for 1 day and Bimal worked for all 3 days.
In this case amount of work completed = 1*(12)+3*(15)+2*(18+10) = 113 units.
Option E: Abdul and Charlie worked for 1 day each, Bimal worked for 2 days and Dilbar worked for all 3 days.
In this case amount of work completed = 1*(18+12)+2*(15)+3*(10) = 90 units.
Therefore, we can say that option E is the correct answer.
