A and B together can do a piece of work in 20 days. B and C together can do the same of work in 25 days. C and A together can do the same work in 15 days. In how many days A alone can do the same work?
A/c to question ,
$$\frac{1}{A} + \frac{1}{B} =\frac{1}{20}$$
$$\frac{1}{B} + \frac{1}{C} =\frac{1}{25}$$
$$\frac{1}{C} + \frac{1}{A} =\frac{1}{15}$$
Adding these equations ,
2($$\frac{1}{A} + \frac{1}{B} +\frac{1}{C}$$) = ($$\frac{1}{20} + \frac{1}{25} +\frac{1}{15}$$)
$$\frac{1}{A} + \frac{1}{B} +\frac{1}{C} = \frac{47}{600}$$
$$\frac{1}{A} = \frac{47}{600} - \frac{1}{25} = \frac{23}{600}$$
So, the answer would be option a)$$\frac{600}{23}$$
