    Kami, Karya and Kirti can together weave a carpet in 4 days. Kami by herself can weave the same sized carpet in 12 days and Kirti can do it in 10 days. How long will Karya take to do the work by herself?

    A) 12 days           

    B)          15 days

    C) 18 days           

    D)          19 days

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

        Time taken by Kami, Karya and Kirti to weave the carpet = 4 days. Time taken by Kami to weave the carpet = 12 days and, Time taken by Kirti to weave the carpet = 10 days \[\therefore \] Kami, Karya and Kirti's 1 days' work \[=\frac{1}{4}\] Kami's 1 days' work \[=\frac{1}{12}\] and, Kirti's 1 days' work \[=\frac{1}{10}\] Now, Karya's 1 days' work = (Kami, Karya and Kirti's 1 days'work)-(Kami's 1 days' work) - (Kirti's 1 day's work) \[=\frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{12}\,-\frac{1}{10}\,=\frac{15-5-6}{60}=\frac{4}{60}\,=\frac{1}{15}\] Hence, Karya can weave the carpet in 15 days.
