Answer :
It will take 15 days for Akash to complete the entire work if he is assisted by Sunil and Rakesh every third day.
To determine the number of days, we first represent the number of days to do a piece of work by each one of them in fractions as follows;
Fraction of work completed by Akash in 1 day = 1/20
Fraction of work completed by Sunil in 1 day = 1/30
Fraction of work completed by Rakesh in 1 day = 1/60
The total work done in 1 day can be given as;
Total work done by the three in one day = [(1/20) + (1/30) + (1/60)] = 1/10
Work done by Akash in two days = 2 × (1/20) = 2/20 = 1/10
The work done in three days (1 day of all three together + Work done by Akash in two days) = (1/10) + (1/10) = 1/5
Therefore; the total work done in 3 days = 1/5
At this rate, the total number of cycles required to finish the work =
(1) ÷ (1/5) = 5
Since each cycle has three days, the total number of days required to finish the work can be calculated as follows;
5 × 3 = 15 days
