Question : A can do as much work as B and C together can do, A and B can do a piece of work in 9 hours 36 minutes and C can do it in 48 hours. The time (in hours) that B needs to do the work alone, is:
Option 1: 18 hours
Option 2: 24 hours
Option 3: 30 hours
Option 4: 12 hours
Correct Answer: 24 hours
Solution : 9 hours 36 minutes = $9+\frac{36}{60}=9\frac{3}{5}=\frac{48}{5}$ hours. Work of (A + B) in 1 hour = $\frac{5}{48}$ Work of C in 1 hour = $\frac{1}{48}$ Work of (A + B + C) in 1 hour = $\frac{5}{48}+\frac{1}{48}=\frac{1}{8}$ -------(1) According to the given condition, 1 hour work of A = 1 hour work of (B + C) --------------(2) From equations (1) and (2), ⇒ 2 × (1 hour work of A) = $\frac{1}{8}$ ⇒ 1 hour work of A = $\frac{1}{8×2}=\frac{1}{16}$ 1 hour work of B = $\frac{5}{48}–\frac{1}{16}=\frac{5–3}{48}$ ⇒ 1 hour work of B = $\frac{2}{48}=\frac{1}{24}$ So, B alone will complete the work in 24 hours. Hence, the correct answer is 24 hours.
