Puneet completes a work in 12 days and Rachna completes a work in 6 days. But Puneet worked only for 4 days and Rachna worked only for 2 days. The remaining work was done by Sahil and Sachin who alone can complete the work in 10 days and 6 days respectively. Ratio of the number of days for which Sahil and Sachin worked is 1 : 1. Find the total number of days for which Rachna, Sahil, and Sachin worked.

Find the total number of days for which Rachna, Sahil, and Sachin worked. Correct Answer 4.5 days
Given:
Puneet completes work in 12 days.
Rachna completes work in 6 days.
Puneet worked only for 4 days and Rachna worked only for 2 days.
Ratio of number of days worked by Sahil and Sachin = 1 : 1
Calculation:
Work done by Puneet in 4 days = 4/12
Work done by Rachna in 2 days = 2/6
⇒ Work done by Puneet and Rachna = = 2/3
⇒ Remaining work = 1 – 2/3 = 1/3
Let Sahil and Sachin each works for x days.
⇒ (x/10) + (x/6) = 1/3
⇒ = 1/3
⇒ 8x/30 = 1/3
⇒ x = 1.25 days
Sahil and Sachin, each worked for 1.25 days
∴ Sahil, Sachin and Rachna worked for 4.5 days
