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
