    Question

    If Ram works 3 times as fast as Shyam and is able to

    complete a work in 40 days less than the number of days taken by Shyam, then find the time (in days) in which they can complete the work, working together.
    A 10 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 20 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 15 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 25 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let Shyam's time be x days. So, Ram's time is x - 40 days. Since Ram is 3 times faster, Shyam's time is 3 times Ram's time: x = 3(x - 40) x = 3x - 120 => 2x = 120 => x = 60 days (Shyam), Ram's time = 20 days. Ram's 1 day work = 1/20, Shyam's 1 day work = 1/60. Together, 1 day work = 1/20 + 1/60 = (3+1)/60 = 4/60 = 1/15. So, they will complete the work together in 15 days.
