    If A and B together can complete a work in 12 days, B and C together in 15 days and C and A together in 20 days, then B alone can complete the work in

    A) 30 days

    B)  25 days

    C)  24 days

    D)  20 days

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    (A + B)'s 1 day's work \[=\frac{1}{12}\] (B + C)'s 1 day's work \[=\frac{1}{15}\] (C + A)'s 1 day's work \[=\frac{1}{20}\] On adding, 2 (A + B + C)' s 1 day's work\[=\frac{1}{12}+\frac{1}{15}+\frac{1}{20}\] \[=\frac{5+4+3}{60}=\frac{1}{5}\] \[\therefore \]  (A + B + C)'s 1 day's work \[=\frac{1}{10}\] \[\therefore \] B's 1 day's work \[=\frac{1}{10}-\frac{1}{20}=\frac{2-1}{20}=\frac{1}{20}\] \[\therefore \] B alone can do the work in 20 days.
