A and B can do a piece of work in 30 days. While B and C can do the same work in 24 days and C and A in 20 days. They all work together for 10 days when B and C leave. How many days more will A take to finish the work ?
Answers
Answer:
(A + B)’s one days’ work = 1/30
(B + C)’s one days’ work = 1/24 .....(1)
(C + A)’s one days’ work = 1/20
Therefore (A + B + C)’s one days’ work
(A + B + C)’s 10 days’ work
= 10/6 = 5/8
From (1) and (2), A's one days’ work
= 1/16 – 24
= 1/48
Therefore remaining 3/8 of the work is done by A alone in 3/8 × 48
= 18 days.
