    Question

    β€˜A’ alone can complete a work in 40 hours. β€˜A’

    started the work alone and left after working on it for 20 hours. If β€˜B’ completed the rest of the work in 20 hours then find the time taken by β€˜A’ and β€˜B’ together to complete the whole work.
    A 32 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 20 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 30 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 25 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the total work = 360 units Then, efficiency of β€˜A’ = (360/40) = 9 units/hour Work completed by β€˜A’ alone in 20 hours = 9 Γ— 20 = 180 units Remaining work = 360 – 180 = 180 units So, efficiency of β€˜B’ = 180/20 = 9 units/hour Therefore, combined efficiency of β€˜A’ and β€˜B’ = 9 + 9 = 18 units/hour So, time taken by β€˜A’ and β€˜B’ together to complete the work = (360/18) = 20 hours
