If Y does the work in 3 days, X does it in 1 day, i.e., the difference is 2 days. But the actual difference is 40 days.
If difference is 2 days, X takes 1 day and Y takes 3 days. If difference is 40 days(i.e., 20 times),
X takes 20 days and Y takes 60 days.
`:.` Time taken together `=(20xx60)/(20+60)=15` days.

Let \( \vec{a}, \vec{b}, \vec{c} \) be unit vectors such that \( \vec{a}+\vec{b}+\vec{c}=\overrightarrow{0} \). Which one of the following is correct ? [IIT-2007] (a) \( \vec{a} \times \vec{b}=\vec{b} \times \vec{c}=\vec{c} \times \vec{a}=\overrightarrow{0} \) (b) \( \overrightarrow{ a } \times \overrightarrow{ b }=\overrightarrow{ b } \times \overrightarrow{ c }=\overrightarrow{ c } \times \overrightarrow{ a } \neq \overrightarrow{0} \) (c) \( \overrightarrow{ a } \times \overrightarrow{ b }=\overrightarrow{ b } \times \overrightarrow{ c }=\overrightarrow{ a } \times \overrightarrow{ c } \neq \overrightarrow{0} \) (d) \( \vec{a} \times \vec{b}, \vec{b} \times \vec{c}, \vec{c} \times \vec{a} \) are mutually \( \perp \)

Given that \(\vec a, \vec b\) and \(\vec c\)are unit vectors. i.e., |\(\vec a\)| = |\(\vec b\)|  = |\(\vec c\)| = 1 And \(\vec a\) + \(\vec b\) + \(\vec c\) = \(\vec 0\) Then \((\vec a+\vec b+\vec c).(\vec a+\vec b+\vec c)=\vec 0.\vec...

If (a+1) workers (In number) will do a work in (a+1) days then in how many days will (a+2) members of workers do the work ? 

Correct option is (D) \(\frac{(a+1)^2}{a+2}\) Work done by (a+1) works in (a+1) days = (a+1) (a+1) \(=(a+1)^2\) Number of days required to complete the same work by (a+2) members \(=\frac{\text{Total work}}{a+2}\) \(=\frac{(a+1)^2}{a+2}\)

30 labourers can built a wall in 9 days. If the same wall is to be built by 20 labourers how many days they will take to complete it?

Correct option is (B) 13 1/2 Work done to complete the wall = Work done by 30 labourers in 9 days = Work done by 20 labourers in x days \(\therefore 20\times x=30\times9\) \(\Rightarrow x=\frac{30\times9}{20}=\frac{27}2\,days\) \(=13\frac12\,days\)
