A and B together can complete a task in 12 days. However, if A works alone, completes
half the job and leaves and then B works alone and completes the rest of the work, it takes 25 daysin all to complete the work. If B is moreefficient than A, how many days wouldit have taken B to do the work by herself?
Let A took 'A' days to complete the task and B took 'B' days
then Total time taken =Â $$\frac{AB}{A+B}$$=12 ------------ Equation (i)
However, A alone taken time = 'A' days will be $$\frac{A}{2}$$ days.
Same for B alone taken time = 'B' days will be $$\frac{B}{2}$$ days.
Total Time =Â $$\frac{A}{2}$$ +Â $$\frac{B}{2}$$ = 25 days.
A+B= 50 days -------------------- Equation (ii)
By (i) and (ii) equation AB = 600 ----------------- Equation (iii)
A,B =20,30
Because B is more efficient takes less days 80.
A,B,C = 2,8,8
