A can do a piece of work in 20 days.B can do the same in 15 days.they both together work for 6 days,..

Answer / dipesh

Work done by A in one day is 1/20
Work done by B in one day is 1/15
Work done by A and B in 6 days is (1/20+1/15)*6
Work done by A and C in 4 days is (1/20+1/x)*4 // assuming that C does the complete work in x days)

Now we need to find out the value of x from following
(1/20+1/15)*6 + (1/20+1/x)*4 = 1

Answer / archana

Answer: C can complete the work in 5 days

work done by A in one day= 1/20
work done by B in one day= 1/15
work done by A and B together in one day= 1/6
work done by A and C together in one day= 1/4
work done by C alone in one day= work done by A and C in one day - work done by A in one day
=(1/4)-(1/20)= 1/5
work done by C alone= 5 days
