A is thrice as good a workman as B and therefore is able to finsih a job in 30 days less than B. How many days will they take to finish the job working together ? 

[Railways 2011]


  • Explanation

    According tot he question,

    A takes x and B takes 3x days to finish the job

     ⇒ 3x - x=30

    ∴ x=302=15 days

    Time taken by B to complete the work = 3x = 3×15= 45 days

    In 1 day (A+B) can complete=115+145=3+145=445

    ∴ (A+B) will finish the work in 454=1114days

    Hence option C is the correct.
