Question 66

A can do a piece of work alonein 8 days. B can do the same work alone in 21 days. If they work together for 3 days, then how much work is completed?

Solution

A = 8 days

B= 21 days

Total work = lcm (8,21)= 168 days

A's effiency = $$168\div8$$ =21 days

B's effiency = $$168\div21$$ =8 days

A+B =  $$168\div29$$

 A+B's one day work =  $$29\div168$$

 A+B's 3 day work =  $$29\div168\div3$$

                                  =   $$\frac{29}{56}$$
