IBM Company Numerical Ability Time and Work

A can lay railway track between two given stations in 16 days and B can do the same job in 12 days. With the help of C, they did the job in 4 days only. Then, C alone can do the job in
A. 9x1/5 days B. 9x2/5 days
C. 9x3/5 days D. 10 days

Read Solution (Total 3)

Ans is C)9 3/5 days

1/16 + 1/12 + 1/C = 1/4

1/C = 1/4 -1/16 -1/12 = 5/48

Therefore C = 9 3/5 days

C.
ABC/(AB+BC+CA)=4
16*12*C/(16*12+12C+16C)=4
C=48/5=9*3/5
