Answer / m.vinod
11 days
brown completes 1+1/3 house in 8 days
black completes 3/4 house in 6 days
let the work done by blue=x
then
1+1/3+3/4+x=3 total houses to paint
x=11/12
so blue will complete the remaining work in 11 days

Answer / scrappy-coco
a tiny bit of modification in the first answer.
Mr. Brown completes 4/3 rd of a house
Mr. Black completes 3/4 th of a house
Mr. Blue completes x/12 th of a house
It is evident that 4/3+3/4+x/12=3
i.e. (x+25)/12=3
i.e. x=11
So Mr. Blue takes 11 days

Answer / raj
I think it is 12.
Mr brown completes 1 house + 1/4 th a house in 8 days.
Mr black completes 3/4 th a house in 6 days. 1/4 +3/4 = 1
thus one more house left to be painted. Mr blue takes 12
days to paint 1 house( given in the question ).

A helicopter drops two trains, each on a parachute, onto a straight infinite railway line. There is an undefined distance between the two trains. Each faces the same direction, and upon landing, the parachute attached to each train falls to the ground next to the train and detaches. Each train has a microchip that controls its motion. The chips are identical. There is no way for the trains to know where they are. You need to write the code in the chip to make the trains bump into each other. Each line of code takes a single clock cycle to execute. You can use the following commands (and only these); MF - moves the train forward MB - moves the train backward IF (P) - conditional that's satisfied if the train is next to a parachute. There is no "then" to this IF statement. GOTO
