    Question

    A and B can complete a work together in 30 days. If A alone can complete one-third of the work in ‘x’ days and remaining work is completed by B alone in 2x days, then find the value of x.

    A 20 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 15 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 16 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 18 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 24 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Time taken by A to complete the work = (x × 3) = 3x days Time taken by B to complete the work = (2x × 3/2) = 3x days According to question, => (1/3x) + (1/3x) = 1/30 => (1 + 1)/3x = 1/30 => 3x = 60 => x = 20
