Answer» Work DONE by A in 1 day = 1/16 Work done by B in 1 day = 1/12 Let C takes x days to lay railway track between two GIVEN STATIONS. So work done by C in 1 day = 1/x A, B and C together take 4 days to lay the railway track. So, in 1 day they COMPLETE 14 of the total work together So, 1/16 + 1/12 + 1/x = 1/4 => 1/x = 1/4 - 1/16 - 1/12 => 1/x = 5/48 => x = 48/5. Work done by A in 1 day = 1/16 Work done by B in 1 day = 1/12 Let C takes x days to lay railway track between two given stations. So work done by C in 1 day = 1/x A, B and C together take 4 days to lay the railway track. So, in 1 day they complete 14 of the total work together So, 1/16 + 1/12 + 1/x = 1/4 => 1/x = 1/4 - 1/16 - 1/12 => 1/x = 5/48 => x = 48/5. |
