A and B can do a piece of work in 12 days, B and C in 10 days and A and C in 15 days. How long will each take to do work separately
-------------
Rate Equations:
1/A + 1/B + 0 = 1/12
0 + 1/B + 1/C = 1/10
1/A + 0 + 1/C = 1/15
----
Using a matrix method I get:
1/A = 1/40
1/B = 7/120
1/C = 1/24
===========
Days to do the job alone:
A = 40 days
B = 120/7 = 17.14 days
C = 24 days
=====================
