Solution

To solve this problem, we need to follow these steps:

  1. First, we need to find the total efficiency of A, B, and C. The ratio of their efficiencies is given as 5:3:2. So, the total efficiency is 5+3+2 = 10.

  2. We know that they can complete the task in 21 hours. So, the total work done is Efficiency * Time = 10 * 21 = 210 units.

  3. Now, we need to find the efficiency of B alone. From the ratio, we know that B's efficiency is 3.

  4. We need to find out how long B will take to complete 40% of the task. 40% of the total work is 0.40 * 210 = 84 units.

  5. Time is calculated by dividing the total work by the worker's efficiency. So, B will take 84/3 = 28 hours to complete 40% of the task.

So, the correct answer is 28 hours.
