P1 alone can do $\frac{2}{3}$ of the work in 8 days. P2 alone can do $\frac{7}{12}$ of the work in 14 days. P3 alone can do $\frac{8}{15}$ of the work in 16 days. In how many days can they complete the work, if all three work together? |
$\frac{60}{19}$ days $\frac{120}{19}$ days $\frac{100}{17}$ days $\frac{80}{17}$ days |
$\frac{120}{19}$ days |
P1 = \(\frac{2}{3}\)W = 8 days = 12 days, P2 = \(\frac{7}{12}\)W = 14 days = 24 days, P3 = \(\frac{8}{15}\)W = 16 days = 30 days, ⇒ Time required by P1 + P2 + P3 to complete the total work = \(\frac{120}{19}\) days. ..(\(\frac{Work}{Efficiency}\) = Time) Therefore, all of them working together will complete the work in \(\frac{120}{19}\) days. |
