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 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?
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 : John can do a piece of work alone in 20 days, while Ravi can do the same piece of work alone in 28 days. In how many days can the duo complete the same work if they work together?
