A and B together can complete the same work in 36 days. B and C together can complete the same work in 60 days. A and C together can complete the same work in 45 days. In how many days, B alone can complete the same work? |
180 days 60 days 100 days 90 days |
90 days |
A + B = 36 days, B + C = 60 days, C + A = 45 days, ⇒ Adding all the efficiencies, we get, ⇒ 2(A + B + C) = 12, ⇒ A + B + C = 6, (Efficiency) ⇒ 5 + C = 6, ⇒ C = 1, Similarly, ⇒ B + C = 3, ⇒ B + 1 = 3, ⇒ B = 2, ⇒ Time required by B to complete the work alone = \(\frac{180}{2}\) = 90 days, ..(\(\frac{Work}{Efficiency}\) = Time) |
