Math Problem Statement
A and B can do a piece of work in 30 days, while B and C can do the same work in 24 days and C and A in 20 days. They all work together for 10 days, after that B and C left the work. If they got Rs 7500 for that work then how much A get more than C?
Solution
Let's solve the problem step by step.
Step 1: Define the rates of work
Let:
- A's rate of work = (work per day)
- B's rate of work =
- C's rate of work =
From the given information, we can write the following equations:
- A and B together can complete the work in 30 days, so: A + B = \frac{1}{30} \quad \text{(This means A and B together can complete \frac{1}{30} of the work in 1 day.)}
- B and C together can complete the work in 24 days, so:
- C and A together can complete the work in 20 days, so:
Step 2: Find individual work rates
We have three equations:
To find , , and , let's add all three equations: This simplifies to:
Now, find the common denominator of 30, 24, and 20. The least common denominator (LCD) is 120, so: Thus, Dividing both sides by 2:
Step 3: Solve for individual rates
Now, use the value in the original equations to find each person's rate:
From , we know: So, (A completes of the work in 1 day).
Now, use this to find and :
- From , we get:
- From , we get:
Thus, .

A + B = 1/30 (combined work rate of A and B)
B + C = 1/24 (combined work rate of B and C)
C + A = 1/20 (combined work rate of C and A)
A + B + C = 1/16 (total work rate)
