Answer
Answer: Option D
Solution
Answer: Option D
Solution:
Time taken by B to complete the work∴ (A + B)'s 1 day's work
Hence, the work will be completed in days
Alternate:
Ratio of time, taken by A and B = 160 : 100 = 8 : 5
If A takes 8 days, B takes 5 days.
If A takes 12 days, B takes =
Time take by A = 12 days
Time take by B = 7.5 days
L.C.M. of Total Work = 60
Ratio of time, taken by A and B = 8 : 5
Time taken by A and B together to complete the task
