Vishal alone can complete $$\frac{1}{3}$$ part of a work in 60 days and Ashok alone can complete $$\frac{1}{4}$$ part of the same work in 30 days. In how many days Vishal and Ashok together can complete the same work?
Vishal alone can complete $$\frac{1}{3}$$ part of a work in 60 days.
Vishal alone can complete the whole work = $$60\times3$$ = 180Â days
Ashok alone can complete $$\frac{1}{4}$$ part of the same work in 30 days.
Ashok alone can complete the whole work = $$30\times4$$ = 120 days
Let's assume the total work is 360 units.
Efficiency of Vishal = $$\frac{360}{180}$$ = 2 units/day
Efficiency of Ashok = $$\frac{360}{120}$$ = 3 units/day
Time taken by Vishal and Ashok together to complete the same work =Â $$\frac{360}{2+3}$$
=Â $$\frac{360}{5}$$
=Â 72 days
