Question 86

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?

Solution

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
