(2 A + 8 C)’s 1 hour work = 1/80

⇒ (1 A + 4C)’s 1 hour work = 1/160

? (1A + 3B + 4C)’s 1 hour work = 1/96

∴ 3B’s 1 hour work = (1/96) – (1/160) = 1/240

∴ (2A + 3B)’s 1 hour work = 1/20

∴ 2A’s 1 hour work = 1/120 – 1/240 = 1/240

? (2A + 8C)’s 1 hour work = 1/80

8C’s 1 hour work = 1/80 – 1/240 = 2/240 = 1/120

∴ (5A + 12C)’s 1 hour work = 5/(2 × 240) + 12/(8 × 120) = 1/96 + 1/80

= 176/(80 × 96) = 11/480

∴ (5A + 12C) will finish $(= \frac{{480}}{{11}}\; = \;43\frac{7}{{11}})$ hrs
