Question
Two men A and B started a job in which A was thrice as good as B and therefore took 60 days less than B to finish the job. How many days will they take to finish the job, if they start working together?
Solution
            A              B Efficiency     3        :      1 Time              1       :      3 Difference in time = 60 days ⇒  3x - x = 60 ⇒  x = 30 days So, Total Work = 30 × 3 = 90 A and B can do work together in days = 90/4 = 22.5 days ∴  The required answer is 22.5 days.
