    Question

    β€˜A’ alone can complete a work in 50 hours. β€˜A’

    started the work alone and left after working on it for 10 hours. If β€˜B’ completed the rest of the work in 10 hours then find the time taken by β€˜A’ and β€˜B’ together to complete the whole work.
    A 8 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 6 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 10 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 9 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the total work = 250 units Then, efficiency of β€˜A’ = (250/50) = 5 units/hour Work completed by β€˜A’ alone in 10 hours = 5 Γ— 10 = 50 units Remaining work = 250 – 50 = 200 units So, efficiency of β€˜B’ = 200/10 = 20 units/hour Therefore, combined efficiency of β€˜A’ and β€˜B’ = 20 + 5 = 25 units/hour So, time taken by β€˜A’ and β€˜B’ together to complete the work = (250/25) = 10 hours
