Meghana alone would take 32 hours more to complete a job than both Meghana and Ganesh together. If Ganesh worked alone, he took 12 1/2 hours more to complete it than both Meghana and Ganesh worked together. What time would they take if both Meghana and Ganesh worked together?

Correct Answer: 20 hrs

Explanation:

Time taken by both Meghana and Ganesh to work together is given by =


t 1   x   t 2  


Where


t 1   =   32   h r s t 2   =   12   1 2   h r s   =   25 2   h r s


 


Therefore, time took by both to work together = 


32   x   25 2   =   16   x   25   =   4   x   5   =   20   h r s
