  • Question
  • A can complete a work in 12 days with a working of 8 hours per day. B can complete the same work in 8 days when working 10 hours a day. If A and B work together, working 8 hours a day, the work can be completed in --- days ?


  • Options
  • A. 51/24
  • B. 87/5
  • C. 57/12
  • D. 60/11

  • Correct Answer
  • 60/11 

    Explanation

    A can complete the work in 12 days working 8 hours a day

    => Number of hours A can complete the work = 12×8 = 96 hours 

    => Work done by A in 1 hour = 1/96

     

    B can complete the work in 8 days working 10 hours a day

    => Number of hours B can complete the work = 8×10 = 80 hours 

    => Work done by B in 1 hour = 1/80

     

    Work done by A and B in 1 hour = 1/96 + 1/80 = 11/480

     => A and B can complete the work in 480/11 hours

     

    A and B works 8 hours a day.

    Hence total days to complete the work with A and B working together 

    = (480/11)/ (8) = 60/11 days
