Question

A and B together can do a piece of the work in 50 hours, B and C together can do the same work in 75 hours and A and C together can do the same in 25 hours. Find the time in which A, B, and C together will complete the task.

A.

40011\frac{400}{11}​ hours

B.

15011\frac{150}{11}​ hours

C.

13111\frac{131}{11}​ hours

D.

30011\frac{300}{11}​ hours

Correct option is D

​Given: 

A and B together can complete the work in 50 hours  

B and C together can complete the work in 75 hours  

A and C together can complete the work in 25 hours  

Solution: 

A and B work rate = 150 \frac{1}{50}

B and C work rate = 175 \frac{1}{75} 

C and A work rate = 125 \frac{1}{25} 

Now,  

A + B + B + C + C + A = 150+175+125​\frac{1}{50} + \frac{1}{75} + \frac{1}{25} 

2( A + B + C ) = 11150\frac{11}{150} 

A + B + C  = 11300\frac{11}{300}​​

The time taken by A, B, and C together to complete the work is the reciprocal of this rate

Time = 30011 hours\frac{300}{11} \text{ hours}​​
