Q)

A can do 12 of the work in 5 days and B can do 25 of the work in 10 days. In how many days both A and B together can do the work?


  • Explanation

    According to the question,

    A completes the work in 5×2=10 days

    B completes the work in 10×52=25days

    In 1 day,

    A can complete 1 10th of the work

    B can complete 125th of the work

    (A+B) together can complete 110+125=5+250=750th of the work

    ∴ (A+B) will complete the whole work in 507 days.

    ∴ Required time =507=717days.

     Hence option B is the correct.
