A and B can make the wall in 15 days and 20 days respectively. While C can destroy the entire wall in some fixed day. If A, B, and C starts working together then the wall is completed in 30 days. How many days can C alone destroy an entire wall? Correct Answer 12 days

GIVEN:

⇒ A = 15 days

⇒ B = 20 days

⇒ A + B + C = 30 days

FORMULA USED:

⇒ A + B + C = 2

⇒ 4 + 3 + C = 2

⇒ C = 2 – 7 = - 5

⇒ C = - 5 (i.e. C can breaks 5 bricks per day) ….(1)

⇒ C = 60/5 = 12 days

∴ C can break the entire wall in 12 days.
