Description: A company has a job to prepare certain number cans and there are three machines A, B and C for this job. A can complete the job in 3 days, B can complete the job in 4 days, and C can complete the job in 6 days. How many days will the company take to complete the job if all the machines are used simultaneously?

Solution

If they work together, then total work done in single day = $$\frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{6} = \frac{9}{12}$$
So $$\frac{9}{12}$$ work is done in 1 day
Hence unit work will be done in $$\frac{12}{9}$$ or $$\frac{4}{3}$$ days.
