U, V and W together can complete a work in 15 days. U alone can complete the work in 60 days. In how many days V and W together can complete the same work?
1). 10
2). 20
3). 14
4). 12
Given,
(U + V + W) can complete a work in 15 days.
⇒ (U + V + W)’s one day work = 1/15
U alone can complete the work in 60 days.
⇒ U’s one day work = 1/60
⇒ (V + W)’s one day work = (1/15 - 1/60) = (4 - 1)/60 = 1/20
V + W can complete the same work in 20 days.
