An elephant can do a work as fast as two horses
lsquo;Arsquo; and lsquo;Brsquo; can do it by working together. If horse lsquo;Arsquo; alone can complete the work in 22 hours and horse lsquo;Brsquo; in 33 hours, then find the time taken by elephant to complete the work.Solution
Let the total work = 66 units Efficiency of horse who can complete the work in 22 hours = 66/22 = 3 units/hour Efficiency of horse who can complete the work in 33 hours = 66/33 = 2 units/hour Therefore, time taken by both horses to complete the work together = 66/(3 + 2) = 13.2 hours Therefore, time taken by the elephant to complete the work = 13.2hours
