A, B and C working together completed a job in 10 days. However, C only worked for the first three days when $$\frac{37}{100}$$ of the job was done. Also, the work done by A in 5 daysis equalto the work done by B in 4 days.. How many days would be required by the fastest worker to complete the entire work?
Since the work done by A in 5 days is equal to the work done by B in 4 days.
So, time taken by A and B alone to do the work is 5x and 4x respectively.
Time taken by C alone to do the work = C
Now,
$$\frac{10}{5x} + \frac{10}{4x} + \frac{3}{C} = 1$$ ........ (1)
$$\frac{3}{5x} + \frac{3}{4x} + \frac{3}{C} = \frac{37}{100}$$ ...... (2)
From (1) and (2):
$$\frac{7}{5x} + \frac{7}{4x} = 1 - \frac{37}{100}$$
$$\frac{28 + 35}{20x} = \frac{63}{100}$$
x = 5 and C = 30
Time taken by A alone to do the work = 5x = 25 days
Time taken by B alone to do the work = 4x = 20 days
Time taken by C alone to do the work = C = 30 days
Hence, the time required by the fastest worker to complete the entire work = 20 days
