Practicing Success
A takes twice as much time as B or thrice as much time as C to finish a piece of work. Working together, they can finish the work in 2 days. B can do the work alone in: |
4 days 6 days 8 days 12 days |
6 days |
Ratio of time taken by A to B to complete the work = 2 : 1 Ratio of efficiency A to B = 1 : 2 Ratio of time taken by A to C to complete the work = 3 : 1 Ratio of efficiency A to C = 1 : 3 Overall ratio of efficiency of A , B & C = 1 : 2 : 3 As, They together complete the work in 2 days . So, Complete work = Efficiency × Number of day = ( 1 + 2 + 3 )R × 2 = 12R Time taken by B alone to do the work = \(\frac{12R}{2R}\) = 6 days |
