    • Question

      A can do a work in 16 days and B can do the same work in

      12 days. How long will it take for A and B to complete the work if they work together?
      A 6.86 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 7.5 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 8.33 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 9 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      A’s rate of work = 1/16, B’s rate of work = 1/12. Together, their rate of work = (1/16 + 1/12) = (3 + 4) / 48 = 7 / 48. Therefore, the time taken to complete the work = 48 / 7 = 6.86 days.
