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,then B is replaced by C who works with A for next 4 days & finished it.in how many days C alone can do the same work?

Answer Posted / 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

Alok and Bhanu play the following min-max game. Given the expression N = X - Y – Z where X, Y and Z are variables representing single digits (0 to 9), Alok would like to maximize N while Bhanu would like to minimize it. Towards this end, Alok chooses a single digit number and Bhanu substitutes this for a variable of her choice (X, Y or Z). Alok then chooses the next value and Bhanu, the variable to substitute the value. Finally Alok proposes the value for the remaining variable. Assuming both play to their optimal strategies, the value of N at the end of the game would be • 4 • -18 • 9 • 2
