shraddha srivastava  (10 years ago) Best Solution

A(2 days work)+ B(3 days work)+ c(x days work)=1(total work done is always equal to 1)
2/10 + 3/12 + x/15 = 1
x = 8.25

a+b+c 2 day work = 2(1/10 + 1/12 + 1/15) = 1/2
b+ c 1 day work = (1/12 + 1/15) = 3/20
work left = 1 - (1/2 + 3/20)
= 1 - 13/20
= 7/20
now this work will be finished by c alone = 15* (7/20) days
= 5.25 means 5 days 6 hrs

Mahesh  (10 years ago)

let the work be making 60 problems, A can do it 6 a day, B 5 a day and D 4 a day.
A+ B+C in two days completes 30 problems.
B+C in the next day completes 9 problems

C can complete the remaining work in 21/4 days 5.25 days
Total days = 2+1+5.25 = 8.25

A does W in 10 days
B W in 12 while C in 15 days so there respective rates are W/10,W/12 and W/15.
as A for 2 days so w/10*2 + w/12*3 + w/15*n = w
So find n i.e. 8.25 days so C has to do work for 8.25 days.
