A alone can do a work in 20 days. A and B together can do the same work in 15 days. B and C together can do the same work in $$\frac{75}{2}$$ days. What is the ratio of the efficiency of A, B and in terms of doing the work?
if x and y are no of days taken by A and B respectively thenÂ
work done by A and B = $$\frac{1}{x}$$+$$\frac{1}{y}$$
total time taken = $$\frac{x+y}{xy}$$
work done by A in 1 day =$$\frac{1}{20} $$Â
work done by A and B in 1 day =Â $$\frac{1}{15}Â $$Â
work done by B in 1 day =Â $$\frac{1}{15}Â $$Â -Â $$\frac{1}{20}Â $$Â =Â $$\frac{1}{60} $$Â
work done by B and C in 1 day =Â $$\frac{2}{75}Â $$Â
work done by C in 1 day =Â $$\frac{2}{75}Â $$Â -Â $$\frac{1}{60} $$Â =Â $$\frac{1}{100} $$
ratio of efficiencies A: B : C is ratio of work done by A:B:C
$$\frac{1}{20}Â $$Â :Â $$\frac{1}{60} $$Â :$$\frac{1}{100} $$
$$15 : 5 : 3$$
