I hope it helped you
Step-by-step explanation:
Assume B takes x days to complete the work
A takes x-6 days
C takes x-8 days
1/x +1/(x-6) =1/(x-8)
(x-6+x)/x(x-6)=(2x-6)/x(x-6) =1/(x-8)
(2x-6)(x-8)=x^2–6x
2x^2–16x-6x+48=x^2–6x
x^2–16x+48=0
(x-12)(x-4) =0
x=4,12
Since A takes 6 days less than B , B can't be less than 6
So B is 12 days .
B takes 12 days
A takes 6 days
C takes 4 days
Verification
1/12 +1/6=1/4
