Choose the correct option from the following Quantity I: If A and B can do a piece of work in 10 days, B and C in 12 days and if all three are together then said work is done in 8 days. In how many days would C and A complete the work if working together? Quantity II: A can do a piece of work in 2/5th of work in 10 days and B can do 1/2 of the same work in 8 days. If both of them are working together then in how many days would the work get completed?
Choose the correct option from the following Quantity I: If A and B can do a piece of work in 10 days, B and C in 12 days and if all three are together then said work is done in 8 days. In how many days would C and A complete the work if working together? Quantity II: A can do a piece of work in 2/5th of work in 10 days and B can do 1/2 of the same work in 8 days. If both of them are working together then in how many days would the work get completed? Correct Answer Quantity I > Quantity II
Given:
A + B = 10 days
B + C = 12 days
A + B + C = 8 days
2/5th of work by A = 10 days
1/2 of work by B = 8 days
Solution:
Quantity I :
2/ (A + B + C) = (1/(A + B)) + (1/(B + C)) + (1/C + A))
⇒ 2/ 8 = (1/ 10) + (1/12) + (1/x)
⇒ 1/ X = 1/4 – ((1/10) + (1/12))
⇒ 1/ X = 15/60 – (11/60)
⇒ 1/ X = 4/60
1/X = 1/15
⇒ X = 15 days
Quantity II :
A completes whole work = 10 × 5/2
⇒ A completes whole work = 25
B completes whole work = 16 (∵ 8 × 2 = 16)
⇒ 1/X = (1/25) + (1/16)
⇒ 1/X = 41/400
X = 400/41 = 9.75 days
∴ Quantity I > Quantity II
