उत्तर

A's one day's work =`1/10`

B's one day's work =`1/12`

C's one day's work =`1/15`

A, B and C's one day's work =`1/10+1/12+1/15`

`=(6+5+4)/60=15/60=1/4`

Let the work completed in x days

∴ A's 2 days work + B's (x − 3) days work + C's x days work = 1

`⇒2xx1/10+("x"-3)xx1/12+"x"xx1/15=1`

`⇒1/5+("x"-3)/12+"x"/15=1`

`(12+5"x"-15+4"x"=60)/60` ...(L.C.M of 5, 12, 15 = 60)

⇒ 9x = 60 − 12 + 15

⇒ 9x = 63

`⇒"x"=63/9=7`

∴ Work will last for 7 days
