Time and work

A and B can finish a work together in 12 days, and B and C together in 16 days. If A alone works for 5 days and then B alone continues for 7 days, then remaining work is done by C in 13 days. In how many days can C alone finish the complete work?

  1. Total work = 48 unit
    efficiency of a+b =4 ————-(1)
    efficiency of b+c =3 ————-(2)
    According to question
    5a +7b +13c = 48
    now using 1 and 2 equation
    5a+ 7(4-a) +13(a-1) =48
    11a =33
    a=3 , b =1 , c = 2
    Time taken by C = 48/2 =24 days
