(B) Let the total time taken to complete the work be $x$ days.Since $A$ worked for the entire duration,$B$ left $8$ days before completion,and $C$ left $6$ days before completion,their individual work contributions are:Work done by $A = \frac{x}{16}$Work done by $B = \frac{x-8}{32}$Work done by $C = \frac{x-6}{48}$The sum of their work equals $1$ (the whole work):$\frac{x}{16} + \frac{x-8}{32} + \frac{x-6}{48} = 1$Taking the least common multiple $(LCM)$ of $16, 32,$ and $48$,which is $96$:$\frac{6x + 3(x-8) + 2(x-6)}{96} = 1$$6x + 3x - 24 + 2x - 12 = 96$$11x - 36 = 96$$11x = 132$$x = \frac{132}{11} = 12$ days.Thus,the work is finished in $12$ days.

$A,$ $B,$ and $C$ can do a work separately in $16,$ $32,$ and $48$ days respectively. They started the work together,but $B$ left $8$ days before and $C$ left $6$ days before the completion of the work. In what time is the work finished? (in days)

$A$ is $50\%$ as efficient as $B$. $C$ does half of the work done by $A$ and $B$ together in the same time. If $C$ alone does the work in $20 \text{ days}$,then $A, B$,and $C$ together can do the work in (in $\text{days}$):

$4$ men and $6$ women together can complete a work in $8$ days,while $3$ men and $7$ women together can complete it in $10$ days. $20$ women working together will complete it in (in days):

$A$ and $B$ can do a piece of work in $18$ days,$B$ and $C$ in $24$ days,and $A$ and $C$ in $36$ days. In what time can they do it all working together? (in days)

$A$ is $4$ times as fast as $B$ and is,therefore,able to complete a work in $45$ $days$ less than $B$. $A$ and $B$,working together,can complete the work in (in $days$)
