Aakash, Birwa, and Chirag can complete a work in 12, 15, and 10 days respectively. If Chirag left the work 5 days before the work was completed and Aakash left two days after Chirag left, then find the number of days when the work would get completed.
Aakash, Birwa, and Chirag can complete a work in 12, 15, and 10 days respectively. If Chirag left the work 5 days before the work was completed and Aakash left two days after Chirag left, then find the number of days when the work would get completed. Correct Answer 7 days
Given:
Aakash can complete a work in = 12 days
Birwa can complete a work in = 15 days
Chirag can complete a work in = 10 days
Chirag left the work 5 days before the work was completed
Aakash left the work 3 days before the work was completed
Calculation:
Let the whole work be 1.
Let the days required to do the whole work be x.
Aakash’s 1 day’s work = 1/12
Birwa’s 1 day’s work = 1/15
Chirag’s 1 day’s work = 1/10
⇒ (x - 3)/12 + x/15 + (x - 5)/10 = 1
⇒ 5(x - 3) + 4x + 6(x - 5) = 60
⇒ 15x – 45 = 60
⇒ 15x = 105
⇒ x = 7
∴ to complete the whole work 7 days are required.
