Hello Student,



First of all, Work = Time * Rate

Let the total work to be 48 Units.

So, Rate of A = 48/6= 8

Rate of B = 48/8 = 6

Rate for (A+B) i.e. when they work together = 8+6 = 14


They worked for 2 days,

So, work completed will be = 14*2 = 28

Work left = 48 -28 = 20


Now, they all worked together (A+B+C) for 1 day to complete the work i.e. 20 units

So, Rate (A+B+C) = 20/1 = 20


Rate of C = Rate (A + B+ C) - Rate (A + B) = 20-14 = 6

So, C alone can do the work in = 48 / 6 = 8 days


Hope this Helps!
