A and B can do a piece of work in 10 days. B and C together can do it in 15 days. If A is twice as good a workman as C. Find what time B alone can do it?
Assume that A, B and C can do $$a$$, $$b$$ and $$c$$ units of work per day.
So, the total work isΒ $$10\times\left(a+b\right)=10a+10b$$ . . . (1)
Similarly, the total work isΒ $$15\times\left(b+c\right)=15b+15c$$ . . . (2)
Equate eqn(1) and eqn (2) we get
$$10a+10b=15b+15c$$
Given that A is twice as good a workman as C or $$a=2c$$
Putting in above equation we get
$$20c+10b=15b+15c$$
or, $$5c=5b$$
or, $$b=c$$
So, the efficiency of B and C is the same
If they together complete the work in 15 days, B alone will complete it in 30 days.
