J takes 16 days for a work. P takes 24 days for the same work. J, P and H do the same work in 8 days. Then find the number of days taken by H alone to complete the entire work.

• let h complete hole work in x days then
  1/16+1/24+1/x=1/8
  so 1/x=1/48
  so h competes in 48 days

• 1/8-1/24+1/16=1/48
  that means H will complete his work in 48 days alone

• ans is 48 days...
  as follows
  1/16+1/24+1/x=1/8
  and on solving dis equation we will get 48 days as ans

• in one day j can do 1/16 work
  p can do 1/16
  three complete their work in 8 days
  so in one day they combined work 1/8
  so h work in a day =1/8-(1/24) -(1/16)=1/48
  ans=48
