A can make a cupboard in 10 days and B can do it in 50 days. Along with C, they did the job in 6.25 days only. Then in how many days C alone can do the job?
A’s 1 day work = 1/10
B’s 1 day work = 1/50
Together with C, they did the work in 6.25 days
A’s 1 day work + B’s 1 day work + C’s 1 day work = 1/6.25 = 4/25
⇒ C’s 1 day work = 4/25 - 1/10 - 1/50 = 4/25 - 3/25 = 1/25
∴ C can alone do the job in 25 days
A’s 1 day work = 1/10
B’s 1 day work = 1/50
Together with C, they did the work in 6.25 days
A’s 1 day work + B’s 1 day work + C’s 1 day work = 1/6.25 = 4/25
⇒ C’s 1 day work = 4/25 - 1/10 - 1/50 = 4/25 - 3/25 = 1/25
∴ C can alone do the job in 25 days
