can complete of a work in days. can complete of the same work in days and can complete of the same work in days. If and worked together for days, then find how much time (in days) will alone take to complete the remaining work?
- A
- B
- C
- D
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
First, find the total time taken by each individual to complete the entire work:Time taken by Time taken by Time taken by Let the total work be the LCM of and , which is .Now find their efficiencies:Efficiency of Efficiency of Efficiency of and worked together for days:
Remaining work:
Time taken by alone to complete the remaining work:
Remaining work:
Time taken by alone to complete the remaining work:
