A- 1-3 days depending on environment and activity. (Longer running in a desert, shorter sleeping in a rain forest.)
B- It depends on the food. If the food has a high water count, you can survive forever (fruit, sauces and soups). Eating nuts and Beef Jerky, about 4-5 days
C- Depends on fat reserves, but somewhere between 3 and 6 weeks. Longer if you were healthier to begin with, Shorter if you are anorexic.
General Survival rule of 3 - 3 minutes without Oxygen, 3 days without water, 3 weeks without food.
Hope this helped.

If the food has sufficient water content, indefinitely, though you may eventually develop kidney trouble.

Your needs are air, water, food, in that order.
How long you can survive depends on more than your weight, (reserves). It also depends on temperature.
At higher temp.s water needs are high.
At lower temp.s energy, (food), needs are high.

a) as long as Terry Schiavo.
b) like Terry, only a couple of weeks...
c) months, maybe four.

Most people don't feel like eating when they don't have water. That's why after awhile people with rabis and hydrophobia just eventually quit eating altogether.
