Question

A can finish a work in 24 days, B in 9 days and C in 12 days. B and C start the work but are forced to leave after 3 days. The remaining work was done by A in:

Options:
A .  5 days
B .  6 days
C .  10 days
D .  \(10\frac{1}{2}days\)
Answer: Option C

(B + C)'s 1 day's work = \(\left(\frac{1}{9}+\frac{1}{12}\right)=\frac{7}{36} \)


Work done by B and C in 3 days = \(\left(\frac{7}{36}\times3\right)=\frac{7}{12} \)


Remaining work =  \(\left(1-\frac{7}{12}\right)= \frac{5}{12}\)


Now,   \(\frac{1}{24} \)    work is done by A in 1 day.


So,  \(\frac{5}{12}\)   work is done by A in \(\left(24\times\frac{5}{12}\right)= 10 days.\)
