Question 44

Prabodh has done 1/2 of a job in 30 days, Sapan completes the rest of the job in 45 days. In how many days can they together do the job?

Solution

Let total work to be done = 60 units

Prabodh has done 1/2 of a job i.e. $$\frac{60}{2} = 30$$ units in 30 days

=> Prabodh's efficiency = $$\frac{30}{30} = 1$$ unit/day

Work left = 60 - 30 = 30 units which is done by Sapan in 45 days

=> Sapan's efficiency = $$\frac{30}{45} = \frac{2}{3}$$ units/day

Prabodh and Sapan 1 day's work = $$1 + \frac{2}{3} = \frac{5}{3}$$ units/day

$$\therefore$$ Time taken by them together to complete the work = $$60 \div \frac{5}{3}$$

= $$60 \times \frac{3}{5} = 12 \times 3 = 36$$ days
