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?
Option 1: $3$
Option 2: $2$
Option 3: $3\frac{3}{4}$
Option 4: $2\frac{7}{8}$
Correct Answer: $3\frac{3}{4}$
Solution : Time taken by A alone to complete $\frac{2}{3}$ of a work = 4 days Time taken by A alone to complete the work = $4 × \frac{3}{2}$ days = 6 days ⇒ Part of work done by A alone in a day = $\frac{1}{6}$ Time taken by B alone to complete $\frac{3}{5}$ of the work = 6 days Time taken by B alone to complete the work = $6 ×\frac{5}{3}$ = 10 days ⇒ Part of work done by B alone in a day = $\frac{1}{10}$ Let the time taken by A and B together to complete the work = $x$ ⇒ Part of work done by A and B in a day = $\frac{1}{x}$ ⇒ $\frac{1}{6}$ + $\frac{1}{10}$ = $\frac{1}{x}$ ⇒ $\frac{5+3}{30}$ = $\frac{1}{x}$ ⇒ $x$ = $\frac{30}{8}$ = $\frac{15}{4}$ = $3 \frac{3}{4}$ days Hence, the correct answer is $3\frac{3}{4}$.

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 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 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?
