A and B can do a piece of work in 72 days . B and C can do it in 120 days. A and C can do it in 90 days. In what time can A alone do it ?
[SSC 2011]
Explanation
According to the question,
In 1 day
work completed by (A+B)=
work completed by (B+C)=
work completed by (A+C)=
2(A+B+C)'s 1day's work
∴ (A+B+C)'s 1 day's work
∴ No. of days in which A alone will complete the work= (A+B+C)'s 1day work - (B+C)'s 1 day work
∴ A alone can finish the work in 120 days
Hence option C is the correct.
