Hello,

Let the work done by Rudra, Sanjay and Tiger in one day individually be x,y,z respectively.

Therefore, from question, 48x = 60y = 72z.   Let this be equation ((1)).

For initial 9 days, work done is 9(x+y+z).

Next 6 days, work done is 6(x+y).

The rest of the days, say M days, work done is M * x.

Adding all these, we get, (M+9+6)x + (9+6)y + 9z.

By using equation 1, convert this into only "x" terms.

Thus we get, (M+9+6+11.2+6)x. This work is equal to the total work, i.e 48x.

Thus, solving for M, we get, (M+32.2)x=48x

M=15.8. Rounded off, we get M = 16 days.

Therefore total days required is 16+9+6= 31 days.

Hope this helps.

Comment for clarification.

Thanks.
