1. A and B can work in 8 days, B and C can do the same work in 12 days. A, B and C together can finish it in 6 days. A and C together will do it in :

  • A. 4 days
  • B. 4 days
  • C. 4 days
  • D. 4 days

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

(A + B) 1 days work = 1/8

(B + C) 1days work = 1/12

(A + B + C) 1days work = 1/6

(A + C) 1 days work = (2×1/6) - (1/8 + 1/12) = (1/3 - 5/24) = 3/24 = 1/8

So, A and C together will do the work in 8 days
