A and B can do a given work in 8 days, B and C do the same work in 12 days and A, B, C complete it in 6 days. In how many days can A and C finish it?
Originally Answered: A and B can do a given piece of work in 8 days. B and C can do the same work in 12 days and A, B, and C can complete it in 6 days. How many days will it take for A and C to finish it?
I wrote some answers and same concepts are used in them.
If A and B can do that task in 8 day
Then they will do 1/8 part of it in one day
B and C can do that task in 12 days
So they do 1/12th part of work in one day
So, (A+B) + (B+C) can do 1/8 + 1/12 = 5/24 part of work ————(1)
And, we know that 1/6th part of work is done by A+ B + C in one day------(2)
Solving,Both equation
A+2B+C = 5/24——(1)
A+B+C =1/6——(2)
Multiplying equation (2) by number 2 and subtracting from (1) to eliminate B
We get,
A+C = 3/24
A+C = 1/8
Hence A and C can do 1/8th part of task in one day
So, They will require a total of 8 days to complete the task when they both (A and C) will work together.
Hope you understood
Feel free to comment
Thank you
Edit- Forgot to multiply 2 on both sides of equation (2)
Thank you Bill palmer for pointing out.Very happy that someone is reading my answers
