Rahim can build a wall in 4 days if he works 6 hours daily. Salman is twice efficient than Rahim. Then in how many days Rahim and Salman together will build the same wall if they are working 2 hours per day?
Rahim can build a wall in 4 days if he works 6 hours daily. Salman is twice efficient than Rahim. Then in how many days Rahim and Salman together will build the same wall if they are working 2 hours per day? Correct Answer 4 days
Given:
Rahim can build a wall in 4 days while working 6 hours daily.
Formula used:
M1H1D1 = M2H2D2
Here M1 = Efficiency of man in first case
M2 = Efficiency of man in second case
H1 = Time taken to complete the work in first case
H2 = Time taken to complete the work in second case
D1 = Required days to complete work in first case
D2 = Required days to complete work in second case
Calculation:
Let efficiency of Rahim be 1 unit/day
Then the efficiency of Salman is 2 × 1 unit/day
⇒ 2 unit/day
So, According to the formula,
1 × 6 × 4 = (2 + 1) × 2 × D2
⇒ D2 = 24/6 days
⇒ D2 = 4 days
∴ Rahim and Salman can complete the work in 4 days if they work 2 hours per day.
