B does 50% of a work in 20 days. C joins B and they together finish the remaining work in 4 days. C alone can do the whole work in days.
B does 50% of a work in 20 days.
means $$\frac{1}{2}$$ work = 20 days
SoÂ
B does 100% of a work in 40 days.
C joins B and they together finish the remaining work ($$\frac{1}{2}$$ work left)in 4 days
C joins B and they together finish the 100% work in 8 days Â
B = 40
C + B = 8
lcm = total work = 40
efficiency of B = 1
efficiency ofB +Â Â C = 5
so C efficiency = 5-1 = 4
C alone can do the whole work in = $$\frac {40}{4}$$ = 10 days
