Question

A can do a certain work in the same time in which B and C together can do it. If A and B together could do it in 10 days and C alone in 50 days, then B alone could do it in:

Options:
A .  15 days
B .  20 days
C .  25 days
D .  30 days
Answer: Option C

(A + B)'s 1 day's work = \(\frac{1}{10}\)


C's 1 day's work = \(\frac{1}{50}\)


(A + B + C)'s 1 day's work = \(\left(\frac{1}{10}+\frac{1}{50}\right)=\frac{6}{50}= \frac{3}{25}. ......(i)\)


A's 1 day's work = (B + C)'s 1 day's work .... (ii)


From (i) and (ii), we get: 2 x (A's 1 day's work) = \(\frac{3}{25}\)


A's 1 day's work =  \(\frac{3}{50}\)


So, B's 1 day's work \(\left(\frac{1}{10}-\frac{3}{50}\right)=\frac{2}{50} = \frac{1}{25}.\)


So, B alone could do the work in 25 days.
