1. A does a work in 10 days and B does the same work in 15 days. In how many days they together will do the same work?
A. 5 days
B. 6 days
C. 8 days
D. 10 days
Solutions
Given, A does a work in 10 days and B does the same work in 15 days
A’s one day work= 1/10
B’s one day work= 1/15
They both do in one day =
They both together complete the work = 6 days
Alternate approach:
Let the Total work be 30 units ………( assumption is taken on the basis of LCM of 10 and 15)
so,
the work done by A in 10 days = 30 units
the work done by A in 1 day = 30/10 = 3 units
Similarly,
the work done by B in 15 days = 30 units
the work done by B in 1 day = 30/15 = 2 units
Let the Total work is done by A and B in x days
Total work done by A and B together in 1 day = 3 + 2 = 5 units
therefore,
work done by A and B in x days = 5x = 30
x = 30/5 = 6 days
