    Question

    β€˜M’ alone can complete a work in 18 days. β€˜N’ is

    50% as efficient as β€˜M’. How long will they take to complete the work together?
    A 15 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 22 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 18 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 12 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let the efficiency of β€˜M’ = 6x units/day

    Then, total work = 6x Γ— 18 = 108x units

    Efficiency of β€˜N’ = 6x Γ— 0.5 = 6x Γ— (1/2) = 3x units/day

    So, combined efficiency of β€˜M’ and β€˜N’ = 6x + 3x = 9x units/day

    So, time taken by β€˜M’ and β€˜N’ together to complete the work = 108x / 9x = 12 days
