Step-by-step explanation:
To Find:
- How long will they take to finish the work together?
- Find the time taken to finish the work together:
- A and B together can do a piece of work in 15 days.
(A + B)'s one day work = 1/15 ____(i)
B and C together can do it in 12 days.
- (B + C)'s one day work = 1/12 ____(ii)
A and C can do it in 20 days.
- (A + C)'s one day work = 1/20 ____(iii)
Adding eqⁿ(i), eqⁿ(ii) and eqⁿ(iii).
(A + B) + (B + C) + (A + C) = 1/15 + 1/12 + 1/20
A + B + B + C + A + C = (4 + 5 + 3)/60
2A + 2B + 2C = 12/60
2(A + B + C) = 1/5
(A + B + C) = 1/(5 × 2)
(A + B + C) = 1/10
Here,
(A + B + C)'s one day work = 1/10
So, A, B and C together can finish the work in 10 days.
