If 1 day work of Akash, Bhanu and Sam is 1/A, 1/B & 1/C respectively
3/4 Work remains after Akash, Bhanu and Sam completes the 1/4 work
Sam's 1 day work=1/20
As Sam completes the remaining work in 5 days, work done by him=5*1/20=1/4
So the work done by Akash and Bhanu for 7 days=1 -(1/4)-(1/4)=1/2
Work of 1 day, 1/A +1/B =1/(7*2)=1/14
Given Bhanu work 50% faster than Akash So 1/B=(3/2)(1/A) or 1/A=(2/3)(1/B)
Substituting in above equation (2/3)(1/B)+1/B=1/14 =>1/B=3/70
So Bhanu can finish the entire work in 70/3 =23 1/3 days
