वीर एक काम 6 घंटे में कर सकता है। मनोज इसी 24 घंटे में कर सकते हैं. आनंद की सहायता से उन्होंने काम 3 घंटे में पूरा कर लिया। आनंद अकेले इसे कितने घंटों में पूरा कर सकता है?
Detailed Solution & Logic
Correct Answer:
8
$ \frac{1}{6} + \frac{1}{24} + \frac{1}{x} = \frac{1}{3} $
$ \frac{5}{24} + \frac{1}{x} = \frac{1}{3} $
$ \frac{1}{x} = \frac{1}{3} - \frac{5}{24} = \frac{1}{8} $
$ x = 8 $
Answer = 8 hours
