    A can finish a work in 24 days, B in 9 days and C in 12 days. B and C start the work but are forced to leave after 3 days. The remaining work was done by A in

    A)  5 days                         

    B)  6 days         

    C)  10 days

    D)  \[10\frac{1}{2}\] days

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    (c): Work done by B + C in 3 days. \[=3\times \left( \frac{1}{9}+\frac{1}{12} \right)part=\frac{7}{12}part\] Part left\[=\frac{5}{12}\] \[A\to 1\text{ }work\Rightarrow 24\text{ }days\]. \[A\to \frac{5}{12}work\Rightarrow \frac{5}{24}\times 24=10days.\]
