      Question

      Sunita takes 10 days to complete a piece of work. Neelam

      takes 32 days more than the time taken by both Neelam and Sunita to finish the work. Find the time taken by Neelam alone to finish the work.
      A 30 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 35 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 25 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 40 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let Neelam and Sunita together do it in x days and Neelam do it in ( x + 32 ) days `1/10+1/(x+2) = 1/x` ⇒ `(x+32+10)/(10(x+32) ) = 1/x` ⇒ 10 x + 320 = x ² + 42x x² + 32x - 320 = 0 Solving the equation x = 8 Neelam will do it in (8 + 32) = 40 days.
