  1. Step-by-step explanation:

    Here First we find efficiency of the work done by A, B and C :-

    A + B = 15

    B + C = 10

    C + A = 12

    LCM of 15, 10, 12 will give it 60 ( Which is Total Work Done )

    So efficiency of A + B is = 60 / 15 = 4 —–( 1 )

    B + C is = 60 / 10 = 6 —–( 2 )

    C + A is = 60 / 12 = 5 —–( 3 )

    So Adding (1) (2) and (3) eq-n. We get :-

    2 ( A + B + C ) = 15

    A + B + C = 15/2 Ans.

    So time taken by A B and C to do this job in a day is 7. 5.

    PLEASE MARK MY ANSWER AS BRAIN LIST.

  2. Answer:

    LET ‘A’ IS CAPABLE OF DOING THE ENTIRE WORK INDIVIDUALLY IN X DAYS.

    SIMILARLY LET ‘B’ AND ‘C’ COMPLETE INDIVIDUALLY IN ‘Y’ AND ‘Z’ DAYS.

    THEN ( 10/X) + (10/Y) = 1; i.e 10{(X+Y)/XY = 1 ———————- (1)

    SIMILARLY 12(Y+Z)/YZ = 1 ———————————————— (2)

    AND 15(Z+X)/XZ = 1 ———————————————————-(3)

    REWRITING (1/X)+(1/Y) = (1/10) ————————(4)

    (1/Y) + (1/Z) = (1/12) ——————————————-(5)

    (1/X ) + (1/Z) = 1/15 ——————————————(6)

    SOLVING THE SIMULTANEOUS EQUATIONS

    ‘X’ = 24, ‘Y’ = 120/7, ‘Z’ = 40

    IF A,B AND C ARE WORKING TOGETHER THE WORK THAT COULD BE COMPLETED IN A SINGLE DAY

    = (1/X) + (1/Y) + (1/Z) = (1/24) + (7/120) + (1/40) = (5+7+3)/120 = 15/120 = 1/8

    THE NUMBER OF DAYS REQUIRED TO COMPLETE THE WORK = 1/*1/8) = 8
