Question
'A' and 'B' together can do a piece of work in 12 days
while 'B' and 'C' together can do the same work in 18 days. 'A' started the work alone and worked on it for 1 day, then 'B' alone worked on it for 16 days and 'C' alone completed the remaining work in 18 days. Find the time taken by 'B' alone to complete the whole work.Solution
Let the total work be 36 units. {LCM of 12 and 18} Combined efficiency of 'A' and 'B' = 36 ÷ 12 = 3 units/day Combined efficiency of 'B' and 'C' = 36 ÷ 18 = 2 units/day Work done by A in 1 day = a units
Work done by B in 16 days = 16b units
Work done by C in 18 days = 18c units a + b = 3
b + c = 2 So, a = 3 − b and c = 2 − b (3 − b) + 16b + 18(2 − b) = 36
3 − b + 16b + 36 − 18b = 36
39 − 3b = 36
3b = 3
b = 1 unit/day Time taken by 'B' alone to complete the work = 36 ÷ 1 = 36 days
