Correct Answer: 14.625
Solution : Time taken by Jason alone to complete the work = 23.4 days ⇒ Part of work done by Jason alone in a day = $\frac{1}{23.4}$ = $\frac{10}{234}$ Time taken by Rafique alone to complete the work = 39 days ⇒ Part of work done by Rafique alone in a day = $\frac{1}{39}$ Let the time taken by Jason and Rafique together to complete the work = $x$ days ⇒ Part of work done by Jason and Rafique in a day = $\frac{1}{x}$ According to the question, $\frac{10}{234}$ + $\frac{1}{39}$ = $\frac{1}{x}$ $⇒\frac{1}{x}$ = $\frac{10+6}{234}$= $\frac{8}{117}$ $⇒x$ = $\frac{117}{8}$ = 14.625 Hence, the correct answer is 14.625.
