A and B can do a piece of work in 72 days. B and C can do the same work in 120 days. A and C can do it in 90 days. In what time can A alone do it?
[SSC 2011]
Explanation
In the given problem in 1 day,
(A+B) can do part of work
(B+C) can do part of work
(C+A) can do part of work,
So, in one day, 2(A+B+C) can do,
1 day work of A=[1 day work of (A+B+C)]-[1 day work of (B+C)]
Hence, A alone can finish te work in 120 days
Hence option C is correct
