Q.  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.

a. 5 5⁄11
b. 4 5⁄11
c. 6 4⁄11
d. 6 5⁄11


ANSWER: See Answer
 
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 = 5 5⁄11 days
