Question : A can complete a work in 8 days and B can complete the same work in 11 days. How many days will they take, if both work together?
Option 1: $4 \frac{12}{17}$
Option 2: $5 \frac{12}{19}$
Option 3: $4 \frac{11}{19}$
Option 4: $4 \frac{12}{19}$
Correct Answer: $4 \frac{12}{19}$
Solution : The rate at which A works is $\frac{1}{8}$ work per day and the rate at which B works is $\frac{1}{11}$ work per day. Together, A and B can do $\frac{1}{8} + \frac{1}{11} = \frac{19}{88}$ work per day. So, the time taken to complete the work when A and B work together is the reciprocal of their combined work rate = $\frac{88}{19} = 4 \frac{12}{19}$ days Hence, the correct answer is $4 \frac{12}{19}$.

Question : A can do $\frac{7}{8}$ of work in 28 days, and B can do $\frac{5}{6}$ of the same work in 20 days. The number of days they will take to complete if they do it together is:
Question : A can do $\frac{4}{5}$th of a work in 20 days and B can do $\frac{3}{4}$th of the same work in 15 days. They work together for 10 days. C alone completes the remaining work in 1 day. B and C together can complete $\frac{3}{4}$th of the same work in:
Question : A can do $\frac{2}{5}$ of a work in 12 days while B can do $66 \frac{2}{3}\%$ of the same work in 16 days. They work together for 10 days. B alone will complete the remaining work in:
Question : A can do $\frac{2}{5}$ of a work in 6 days and B can do $\frac{2}{3}$ of the same work in 12 days. A and B worked together for 6 days. C alone completed the remaining work in 8 days. A and C, working together, will complete the same work in:
Question : A can complete $\frac{2}{3}$ of a work in 4 days and B can complete $\frac{3}{5}$ of the work in 6 days. In how many days can both A and B together complete the work?
