A, B and C can reap a field in 15 ¾ days; B, C and D in 14 days; C, D and A in 18days; D, A and B in 21 days. In what time can A, B, C and D together reap it?
The given details are,
A, B and C can reap the field in = 15 ¾ days = 63/4 days
(A, B and C)’s 1 day work =1/(63/4) = 4/63
B, C and D can reap the field in = 14 days
B, C and D’s 1 day work = 1/14
C, D and A can reap the field in = 18 days
C, D and A’s 1 day work = 1/18
D, A and B can reap the field in = 21 days
D, A and B’s 1 day work = 1/24
Now adding (A+B+C+D),
3[A+B+C+D] = 4/63 + 1/14 + 1/18 + 1/21
= (8+9+7+6)/126
= 30/126
= 5/21
