Q:
A) 9 days | B) 11 days |
C) 13 days | D) 15 days |
Answer: C) 13 days
Explanation:
Explanation:
Ratio of times taken by A and B = 100 : 130 = 10 : 13.
Suppose B takes x days to do the work.
Then, 10 : 13 :: 23 : x => x = ( 23 x 13/10 ) => x = 299 /10.
A's 1 day's work = 1/23 ;
B's 1 day's work = 10/299 .
(A + B)'s 1 day's work = ( 1/23 + 10/299 ) = 23/299 = 113 .
Therefore, A and B together can complete the work in 13 days.
