Answer:
= 14 / 9 days or 1 and 5/9th day
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
A does (1/8)th of the work in 1 day.
B does (1/10)th of the work in 1 day.
C does (1/16)th of the work in 1 day.
So, In 4 days that B and C work together, they do 4[(1/10)+(1/16)] or 4*26/160 or 104/160 or 13/20th of the work. What remains is 7/20th.
The remaining portion is done by A and B. A and B do (1/8)+(1/10) = 18/80 or 9/40th of the work in 1 day.
So to do 7/20th of the remaining work they will take (7/20)/(9/40) = 7*40/(9*20) = 14/9 days or 1 and 5/9th day or in less than 2 days.
