. A, B and C complete a piece of work in 3 days, 6 days and 9 days respectively if they
work alone. In how many days will the work be completed if all three work together?
Answers
Answer:
A+B+C's one day work=I/3+1/6+1/9
= 6/18+3/18+2/18=11 / 18
If they work together. They will finish 18/11=1 7/11 days
Step-by-step explanation:
time taken by a to complete the work =3 days
time taken by b to complete the work =6 days
time taken by c to complete the work =9 days
therefore..
one days work of a = 1/3
one days work of b =1/6
one days work of c = 1/9
therefore..
work done together =
one days work of a + one days work of b + one days work of c
= 1/3+1/6+1/9 ( LCM=18)
=11/18
therefore ..time taken to complete the work =
1÷1days work of a,b and c
=1÷11/18
=1×18÷11 (reciprocal)
=1×7/11 ( mixed fraction where 1 is the whole number ,7 is the numerator and 11 is the denominator)
ANS = 1×7/11 days will be required by a,b and c to complete the work together.
