A can do a piece of work in 30 days. He works at it for 6 days and then B finishes it in 18 days. In what time can A and B together it ?

14 1/2 days
11 days
13 1/4 days
12 6/7 days

Correct Answer: 12 6/7 days

Explanation:

Let 'B' alone can do the work in 'x' days

6/30 + 18/x = 1

=> x = 22.5

1/30 + 1/22.5 = 7/90

=> 90/7 = 12 6/7 days
