When A,B,C are work together they complete the work in 8 days.when A and C decided to do the work they complete this job in 12 days. In how many days B alone can complete the work?

Solution (By Examveda Team)

A, B and c can complete the whole work in 8.

A +B +C = 8 days --------------------------- (1)

Work rate of (A +B +C) = 100/8 = 12.5 % per day.

A and C complete the work in 12 days.

A +C = 12 days ------------------------------------------ (2)

Work Rate of (A +C) = 100/12 = 8.33% per day.

Work Rate of B,

= (A +B +C) - (A +C)

= 12.5 - 8.33 = 4.16% per day.

Therefore, B can complete the entire work alone,

= 100/4.16 = 24 days.

    1/12-1/8=4/12*8
    =1/24 means 24 days
    so B alone can complete the work in 24 days
