All of them started to work together but A leaves after 4 days. B leaves the job 3 days before the completion of the work. How long would the work last?

6 days

9 days

18 days

5 days

Explanation:

Explanation :
Let the work lasted for x days,
A’s 4 day’s work + B (x – 3) day’s work + C’s x day’s work = 1
⇒ (4/16) + (x – 3) / (64/5) + x/32 = 1
⇒ 5(x – 3)/64 + x/32 = 1 – 1/4
⇒ [5(x – 3) + 2x] / 64 = 3/4
⇒ 7x – 15 = 48
∴ x = (48 + 15)/7 = 63/7 = 9 days
