    Solution

    ATQ, Time taken by тАШBтАЩ to complete the work = 24/0.75 = 32 days Let the total work = 96 units Efficiency of тАШAтАЩ = 96/24 = 4 units/day Efficiency of тАШBтАЩ = 96/32 = 3 units/day Work to be done = 0.875 ├Ч 96 = 84 units Work completed by тАШAтАЩ and тАШBтАЩ in 2 days = (4 + 3) = 7 units Therefore, to complete 84 units of work time required = 2 ├Ч (84/7) = 24 days
