Practicing Success
X and Y together can do a work in $2\frac{2}{5}$ day days. Y and Z together can do the same working 3 days, and X and Z together can do the same work in 4 days. The time taken by X, Y and Z together to do the same work is: |
1 day 2 day $\frac{1}{2}$ day $2\frac{1}{2}$ day |
2 day |
X + Y = \( {2 }_{5 }^{2 } \) days, Y + Z = 3 days, Z + X = 4 days, ⇒ Adding all the efficiencies, ⇒ 2(X + Y + Z)= 12, ⇒ X + Y + Z = 6, ⇒ Time taken by X + Y + Z to complete the work = \(\frac{12}{2}\) = 6 days, ..(\(\frac{Work}{Efficiency}\) = Time) |
