Question

    A can complete a work in 18 days. B takes 6 days less than A to complete the same work. In how many days can both of them together complete 50% of the work together?

    A 8 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 3.6 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 5.5 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 12 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Time taken by B to complete the work = 18 – 6 = 12 days Let the total work = 36 units Efficiency of A = 36/18 = 2 units/day Efficiency of B = 36/12 = 3 units/day Required time taken = 0.50 x 36/(2+3) = 3.6 days
