  • Question
  • X can do a piece of work in 40 days. He works at it for 8 days and then Y finished it in 16 days. How long will they together take to complete the work?


  • Options
  • A.

    13 1 days
    3

  • B. 15 days
  • C. 20 days
  • D. 26 days

  • Correct Answer
  • 13 1 days
    3

     

    Explanation

    Work done by X in 8 days = 1 x 8 = 1 .
    40 5

    Remaining work = 1 - 1 = 4 .
    5 5

    Now, 4 work is done by Y in 16 days.
    5

    Whole work will be done by Y in 16 x 5 = 20 days.
    4

    ∴ X's 1 day's work = 1 , Y's 1 day's work = 1 .
    40 20

    (X + Y)'s 1 day's work = 1 + 1 = 3 .
    40 20 40

    Hence, X and Y will together complete the work in 40 = 13 1 days.
