A can finish (2)/(5) of work done by B ...

A can finish `(2)/(5)` of work done by B in `(1)/(4)` of time taken by B. B can finish `(4)/(3)` of work done by C in `(3)/(5)` of time taken by C. Working together they can finish the work in 60 days. In how many days they will finish the work, working alone?

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will analyze the work done by A, B, and C based on the information provided. ### Step 1: Establish the relationships between A, B, and C 1. **A's work in relation to B**: - A can finish \( \frac{2}{5} \) of the work done by B in \( \frac{1}{4} \) of the time taken by B. - Let's assume B takes \( t \) days to complete the work. Then A takes \( \frac{t}{4} \) days to do \( \frac{2}{5} \) of B's work. - Therefore, in one day, A does: \[ \text{Work done by A in one day} = \frac{2/5}{t/4} = \frac{2 \times 4}{5 \times t} = \frac{8}{5t} \] - In one day, B does: \[ \text{Work done by B in one day} = \frac{1}{t} \] 2. **Efficiency Ratio of A to B**: - The efficiency ratio of A to B is: \[ \text{Efficiency of A} : \text{Efficiency of B} = \frac{8}{5t} : \frac{1}{t} = 8 : 5 \] ### Step 2: Establish the relationship between B and C 1. **B's work in relation to C**: - B can finish \( \frac{4}{3} \) of the work done by C in \( \frac{3}{5} \) of the time taken by C. - Let C take \( s \) days to complete the work. Then B takes \( \frac{3s}{5} \) days to do \( \frac{4}{3} \) of C's work. - Therefore, in one day, C does: \[ \text{Work done by C in one day} = \frac{1}{s} \] - In one day, B does: \[ \text{Work done by B in one day} = \frac{4/3}{3s/5} = \frac{4 \times 5}{3 \times 3s} = \frac{20}{9s} \] 2. **Efficiency Ratio of B to C**: - The efficiency ratio of B to C is: \[ \text{Efficiency of B} : \text{Efficiency of C} = \frac{20}{9s} : \frac{1}{s} = 20 : 9 \] ### Step 3: Combine the ratios 1. **Combine A, B, and C's efficiencies**: - We have: - \( A : B = 8 : 5 \) - \( B : C = 20 : 9 \) - To combine these ratios, we need to make the B parts equal. We can multiply the first ratio by 4: \[ A : B = 32 : 20 \] - Now we can write: \[ A : B : C = 32 : 20 : 9 \] ### Step 4: Calculate the total efficiency 1. **Total efficiency**: - Total efficiency = \( 32 + 20 + 9 = 61 \) ### Step 5: Calculate total work done 1. **Work done together in 60 days**: - If they can finish the work together in 60 days, then the total work is: \[ \text{Total Work} = \text{Total Efficiency} \times \text{Time} = 61 \times 60 = 3660 \text{ units} \] ### Step 6: Calculate individual work done by A, B, and C 1. **Work done by A in one day**: - A's efficiency = 32 units/day - Days taken by A to finish the work: \[ \text{Days taken by A} = \frac{3660}{32} = 114.375 \text{ days} \] 2. **Work done by B in one day**: - B's efficiency = 20 units/day - Days taken by B to finish the work: \[ \text{Days taken by B} = \frac{3660}{20} = 183 \text{ days} \] 3. **Work done by C in one day**: - C's efficiency = 9 units/day - Days taken by C to finish the work: \[ \text{Days taken by C} = \frac{3660}{9} = 406.67 \text{ days} \] ### Final Answer - A can finish the work alone in **114.375 days**. - B can finish the work alone in **183 days**. - C can finish the work alone in **406.67 days**.
