16
Q:
A) 12 days | B) 14 days |
C) 13 days | D) 16 days |
Answer: C) 13 days
Explanation:
Explanation:
Now, Total work = LCM(16, 8) = 48
A's one day work = + 48/16 = + 3
B's one day work = - 48/8 = -6
Given A worked for 5 days to build the wall => 5 days work = 5 x 3 = + 15
2days B joined with A in working = 2(3 - 6) = - 6
Remaining Work of building wall = 48 - (15 - 6) = 39
Now this remaining work will be done by A in = 39/3 = 13 days.
