    Question

    β€˜A’ alone can complete a work in 65 hours. β€˜A’

    started the work alone and left after working on it for 40 hours. If β€˜B’ completed the rest of the work in 25 hours then find the time taken by β€˜A’ and β€˜B’ together to complete the whole work.
    A 30.5 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 31.5 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 32.5 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 33.5 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the total work = 260 units Then, efficiency of β€˜A’ = (260/65) = 4 units/hour Work completed by β€˜A’ alone in 40 hours = 4 Γ— 40 = 160 units Remaining work = 260 – 160 = 100 units So, efficiency of β€˜B’ = 100/25 = 4 units/hour Therefore, combined efficiency of β€˜A’ and β€˜B’ = 4 + 4 = 8 units/hour So, time taken by β€˜A’ and β€˜B’ together to complete the work = (260/8) = 32.5 hours
