A can complete one-third of a work in 5 days and B can do $$\frac{2}{5}$$th of the same work in 10 days. They work together for 6 days. The remaining work is completed by C in 18 days. C alone will do the same work in:
Given :Â
A complete one-third of work in 5 days.
i.e;Â $$\frac{1}{3}\longrightarrow\ 5$$
So, Total work finish by A in : $$3\times\ \ 5=15\ days$$
Similarly,Â
B complete $$\frac{2}{5}^{ }th$$ of the work in 10 days
So, Total work finish by B in :Â 25 daysÂ
Let the total work = 75 unit (LCM of 15 & 25)
$$\therefore\ total\ work=efficiency\times\ time$$
Efficiency of A =Â $$\frac{75}{15}=5\ units$$
Similarly, Efficiency of B =Â $$\frac{75}{25}=3\ units$$
A and B together work for 6 days (given)
Work done by them in 6 days =Â $$\left(5+3\right)\times\ 6=48\ units$$
Remaining work = 75 - 48 = 27 units
Remaining work is finished by c in 18 days (given)
Efficiency of C =Â $$\frac{27}{18}$$
$$\therefore\ $$ Time taken by C to finish total work alone :Â
=Â $$\frac{75}{\left(\frac{27}{18}\right)}=50\ days$$
