Answer:
hope it helps
Step-by-step explanation:
A&B=20
B&C=15
C&A=12
According to L.C.M of 20,15,12
we get 60.
That means
A & B can do 3 units of work in 1 day.(A+B= 3)
B & C can do 4 units of work in 1 day.(B+C=4)
C & A can do 5 units of work in 1 day.(C+A=5)
3+4+5 =12
2(A + B+ C) = 12
A+B+C =6
(A+B)+C=6
3+C=6
C=3 per day
C can do 3 units of work per day,So In How many days it will take to complete 60 units of work??
DAYS ————— ———1 (?)
Total units of work——-3 (60)
(60/3)*1=20
C=20 days
A+B+C =6
A+(B+C)=6
A+4=6
A=2 per day
A can do 2 units of work per day,So In How many days it will take to complete 60 units of work??
DAYS ————— ———1 (?)
Total units of work——-2(60)
(60/2)*1=30
A=30 days
A+B+C=6
B+(C+A)=6
B+5=6
B=1 per day
B can do 1 unit of work per day,So In How many days it will take to complete 60 units of work??
DAYS ————— ———1 (?)
Total units of work——-1(60)
(60/1)*1=60
B=60 days
A can take 30 days
B can take 60 days
C can take 20 days to complete the work.
