बेरीज

उत्तर

Time taken by A to complete the work = 12 hours.

∴ A’s 1 hour work = `1/12`  ...(1)

(B + C) complete the work in 3 hours.

∴ (B + C)’s 1 hour work = `1/3`  ...(2)

Add (1) and (2) 

∴ (A + B + C)’s 1 hour work = `1/12 + 1/3`

= `(1 + 4)/12`

= `5/12`

Now (A + C) complete the work in 6 hours.

∴(A + C)’s 1 hour work = `1/6`

∴ B’s 1 hour work = (A + B + C)’s 1 hour work – (A + C)’s 1 hour work

= `5/12 - 1/6`

= `(5 - 2)/12`

= `3/12`

= `1/4`

∴ B alone take 4 days to complete the work.
