Praful has done 1/2 of a job in 30 days, Sarabjit completes the rest of the job in 10 days. In how many days can they together do the job?
Let total work to be done = 60 units
Praful has done 1/2 of a job i.e. $$\frac{60}{2} = 30$$ units in 30 days
=> Praful's efficiency = $$\frac{30}{30} = 1$$ unit/day
Work left = 60 - 30 = 30 units which is done by Sarabjit in 10 days
=> Sarabjit's efficiency = $$\frac{30}{10} = 3$$ units/day
Praful and Sarabjit 1 day's work = 1 + 3 = 4 units/day
$$\therefore$$ Time taken by them together to complete the work = $$\frac{60}{4} = 15$$ days
