Answer» Initially C and D work together for eight DAYS C’s one day work = $(\frac{1}{{80}})$ D’s one day work = $(\frac{1}{{150}})$ C and D’s one day work $(= \frac{1}{{80}} + \frac{1}{{150}} = \frac{{23}}{{1200}})$ ∴ Work done $(= 8 \times \frac{{23}}{{1200}} = \frac{{23}}{{150}})$ ∴ Work left $(= 1 - \frac{{23}}{{150}} = \frac{{127}}{{150}})$ After that A joins them, they all work four days, A, C and D’s one day work $(= \frac{1}{{50}} + \frac{1}{{80}} + \frac{1}{{150}} = \frac{{47}}{{1200}})$ Work done $(= 4 \times \frac{{47}}{{1200}} = \frac{{47}}{{300}})$ Work left $(= \frac{{127}}{{150}} - \frac{{47}}{{300}} = \frac{{69}}{{100}})$ After which B joins and C LEAVES, in how MANY total days was the assignment completed A, B and D’s one day work $(= \frac{1}{{50}} + \frac{1}{{60}} + \frac{1}{{150}} = \frac{{13}}{{300}})$ Work left $(= \frac{{69}}{{100}})$ ∴ Days taken to complete the REMAINING work $(= \frac{{69}}{{100}} \times \frac{{300}}{{13}} = \frac{{207}}{{13}})$ ∴ Total days taken $(= 8 + 4 + \;\frac{{207}}{{13}} = 27\frac{{12}}{{13}})$ days |
