उत्तर
A and B complete a piece of work in = 24 days
B and C complete a piece of work in = 36 days
(A+B+C) complete a piece of work in = 18 days
(A+B)’s 1-day work = `1/24`
(B+C)’s 1-day work = `1/36`
(A+B+C)’s 1-day work = `1/18`
(i) A's 1-day work =`1/18-1/36`
`=(2-1)/36=1/36`
∴ A will complete the work in = 36 days
(ii) C's 1-day work =`1/18-1/24`
`=(4-3)/72=1/72`
∴ C will complete the work in = 72 days
(iii) (A+C)'s 1-day work =`1/36+1/72`
`=(2+1)/72=3/72`
`=1/24`
∴ (A+C) will complete the work in = 24 days
