The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will denote the work done by Anil, Bhuvan, and Chirag as A, B, and C respectively. ### Step 1: Determine the combined work rate of Anil, Bhuvan, and Chirag Given that Anil, Bhuvan, and Chirag together can complete the work in 35 days, their combined work rate is: \[ \text{Work rate of (A + B + C)} = \frac{1}{35} \text{ (work per day)} \] ### Step 2: Determine the combined work rate of Anil and Chirag We are also given that Anil and Chirag together can complete the work in 60 days, so their combined work rate is: \[ \text{Work rate of (A + C)} = \frac{1}{60} \text{ (work per day)} \] ### Step 3: Find Bhuvan's work rate To find Bhuvan's work rate (B), we can use the work rates we found in Steps 1 and 2. We know: \[ \text{Work rate of (A + B + C)} - \text{Work rate of (A + C)} = \text{Work rate of B} \] Substituting the values we have: \[ \frac{1}{35} - \frac{1}{60} = B \] ### Step 4: Calculate the left-hand side (LCM) To perform the subtraction, we need to find the least common multiple (LCM) of 35 and 60. The LCM of 35 and 60 is 420. Now we can rewrite the fractions: \[ \frac{1}{35} = \frac{12}{420}, \quad \frac{1}{60} = \frac{7}{420} \] Now, substituting these into the equation: \[ B = \frac{12}{420} - \frac{7}{420} = \frac{5}{420} \] ### Step 5: Simplify Bhuvan's work rate Now, simplifying \(\frac{5}{420}\): \[ B = \frac{1}{84} \] This means Bhuvan can complete \(\frac{1}{84}\) of the work in one day. ### Step 6: Calculate the number of days Bhuvan takes to complete the work alone If Bhuvan can complete \(\frac{1}{84}\) of the work in one day, then the total number of days Bhuvan will take to complete the work alone is: \[ \text{Days} = \frac{1}{\frac{1}{84}} = 84 \text{ days} \] ### Final Answer Thus, Bhuvan alone can complete the work in **84 days**. ---
