    in 30 days and C and A in 45 days. In how many days will they complete the work if they start working together?
    A 8(3/11) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 11(1/3) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 11(2/3) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 16(4/11) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the work rates of A, B, and C be A, B, and C respectively. A + B = 1/15 B + C = 1/30 C + A = 1/45 Adding these three equations: (A + B) + (B + C) + (C + A) = 1/15 + 1/30 + 1/45 тЗТ 2A + 2B + 2C = 1/15 + 1/30 + 1/45 тЗТ 2(A + B + C) = (6 + 3 + 2) / 90 тЗТ 2(A + B + C) = 11 / 90 тЗТ A + B + C = 11 / 180 Time taken when A, B, and C work together = 1 / (A + B + C) тЗТ Time = 1 / (11 / 180) тЗТ Time = 180 / 11 тЗТ Time = 16 (4/11) days
