Given:

A can do a piece of work in 4 hours.

B and C together can do it in 3 hours.

A and C together can do it in 2 hours.

Concept Used:

Work done = 1/Time Or

Work done = Efficiency × Time 

Calculation:

A can do a piece of work in 4 hours.

A's 1 day work = 1/4

A and C together can do it in 2 hours.

(A + C)'s 1 day work = 1/2

C's 1 day work = 1/2 - 1/4 = 1/4

B and C together can do it in 3 hours.

(B + C)'s 1 day work = 1/3

B's 1 day work = 1/3 - 1/4 = 1/12

Time taken by B to complete the work = 12 days

∴ Time taken by B to complete the work is 12 days.

A can do a piece of work in 4 hours.

B and C together can do it in 3 hours.

A and C together can do it in 2 hours.

Total work done = LCM of days = 12 units

Efficiency of A = 3 units

Efficiency of A + C = 6 units

Efficiency of C = 6 - 3 =  3 units

Efficiency of B + C = 4 units

Efficiency of B = 4 - 3 = 1 units

Time taken by B to complete the work = 12/ 1 = 12 days

∴ Time taken by B to complete the work is 12 days.
