1. A can do a piece of work in 4 hours, B and C together can do it in 3 hours , while A and C together can do it in 2 hours. How long will B alone take to do it?
- A. 8 hours
- B. 8 hours
- C. 8 hours
- D. 8 hours
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
A 1 hour work = 1/4
(B + C) 1 hour work = 1/3
(A + C) 1 hour work = 1/2
(A + B + C) 1 hour work = (1/4 + 1/3) = 7/12
B 1 hour work = ( 7/12 - 1/2) = 1/12
B alone will take 12 hour to do the work.
