Question

B and C together can complete a work in 8 days, A and B together can complete the same work in 12 days, and A and C together can complete the same work in 16 days. In how many days can A, B and C together complete the same work?

  • 3(9/13)
  • 7(5/13)
  • 7(5/12)
  • 3(5/12)
  • None of these
Answer- B

Let A complete the work in X days.

B can complete the work in Y days.

C can complete the work in Z days.

Then, 2[(1/X)+(1/Y)+(1/Z)] = [(1/8)+(1/12)+(1/16)]

= 13/96

Therefore complete work will be done in 96/13 days. Hence option 2 is correct.
