question: A can do a piece of work in 3 hours; B and C together can do it in 2 hours, which A and B together can do it in 2 hours. How long will C alone take to do it?
Options:
(A) 2hours
(B) 5hours
(C) 6hours
(D) 4hours
(E) 3hours
answer:
Stream of consciousness: A's 1 hour work = 1/3;
(B + C)'s 1 hour work = 1/2;
(A + B)'s 1 hour work = 1/2
(A + B + C)'s 1 hour work = (1/3 + 1/2) = 5/6
C's 1 hour work = (5/6 - 1/2) = 1/3
C alone will take 3 hours to do the work. The answer is (E).
