Ram and Shayam can complete a work together in 28 days, Shayam alone complete it in 49 days, both of them work for 8 days then Ram leave the work, In how many days Shayam will finish the remaining work? Correct Answer 35 days
Given:
Ram and Shayam can complete a work together = 28 days
Shayam alone can complete work = 49 days
Both Ram and Shayam work for 8 days then Ram leave the work
Concept:
Total work = Time × Efficiency
Calculation:
|
Work done by |
Time taken (in day) |
Efficiency |
|
Ram + Shayam |
28 |
196/28 = 7 |
|
Shayam |
49 |
196/49 = 4 |
|
Total work = L. C. M. = 196 |
||
Both Ram and Shayam work done in 8 days = 8 × 7 = 56 unit
Remaining work = 196 – 56 = 140 unit
Let, Remaining work done by Shayam in x days
Then, x = 140/4 = 35 days
∴ Shayam will finish the remaining work in 35 days.
