A and B can do a piece of work in 72 days. B and C can do it in 120 days. A and C can do it in 90 days. In what time can A alone do it?
A) 80 days
B) 100 days
C) 120 days
D) 150 days
Correct answer:
C) 120 days
Description for Correct answer:
(A + B)'s 1 day's work = 1 / 72
(B + C)'s 1 day's work = 1/120
(A + C)'s 1 day's work = 1 /90
2(A + B + C)'s 1 day's work =\( \Large\frac{1}{72} + \frac{1}{120} + \frac{1}{90} \)
(A + B + C)'s 1 day's work = \( \Large\frac{5 + 3 + 4 }{360 X 2} = \frac{12}{360 X 2} = \frac{1}{60} \)
A's 1 day's work = (A + B + C)'s 1 day's work - (B + C)'s 1 day's work
=\( \Large\frac{1}{60} - \frac{1}{120} = \frac{2-1}{120} = \frac{1}{120} \)
A alone can finish the work in 120 days.
