Difference in times required by the first man (A) and second man (B) = 3 hours. Also, if ta and tb are the respective times, then
tb - ta = 3 . . . . . . . . . ..(1)
Also, B alone be take = (ta + 3) h
According to the question,
2tb - ta = 8
2 × (ta + 3) - ta = 8 [Using equation (1)]
ta = 2 hours.
Now B and woman together take 2 hours and A also take 2 hours, so time required will be half when all 3 work together. So in 1 hour work would be completed.
