A and B can complete a task in 20 days, B and C can complete it in 30 days while C and A can do the same task together in 24 days. How many dayswill each of B and C take to complete the task individually?
(A+ B)'s 1 day's work = $$\frac{1}{20}$$
(B + C)'s 1 day's work = $$\frac{1}{30}$$
(C + A)'s 1 day's work = $$\frac{1}{24}$$
On adding,
2(A + B + C)'s 1 day's work
= $$\frac{1}{20}$$ +$$\frac{1}{30}$$+$$\frac{1}{24}$$
= $$\frac{6+4+5}{120}$$= $$\frac{15}{120}$$
∴∴ (A + B + C)'s 1 day's work
= $$\frac{15}{240}$$
∴∴ B's 1 day's work
=$$\frac{15}{240}$$ - $$\frac{1}{24}$$ = $$\frac{5}{240}$$ = $$\frac{1}{48}$$
C's 1 day's work
= -$$\frac{15}{240}$$ - $$\frac{1}{20}$$=
$$\frac{3}{240}$$ = $$\frac{1}{80}$$
so, shares = 48 and 80
