Correct Answer: 0.5 hours
Solution : Total time taken by Suresh to do the work = 10 × 1 = 10 hours ⇒ Part of the work done by Suresh in an hour = $\frac{1}{10}$ Total time taken by Balu to do the work = 5 × 2 = 10 hours ⇒ Part of the work done by Balu in an hour = $\frac{1}{10}$ So, part of the work done by Suresh and Balu together in a day = $\frac{1}{10}$ + $\frac{1}{10}$ = $\frac{1+1}{10}$ = $\frac{1}{5}$ $\therefore$ Total time Suresh and Balu took to do the work = $\frac{1}{\frac{1}{5}}=5$ hours = 0.5 hours per day for 10 days Hence, the correct answer is 0.5 hours.
