X can do half the work in 5 days So, total in 10 days Y can do one-third of the work in 10 days So, total in 30 days LCM of 10 and 30 is 30 i.e total work Efficiency of X and Y = 30/10, 30/30 ⇒ 3, 1 Now, They will take 30/4 = 7.5 days to complete total work if they work together, So, for double the work it will take 15 days ∴ They will be able to complete double of the work in 15 days
