Question:

If A complete a work in x days and B does the same work in y days. In how many days together A and B will complete that work?

Options:

$\frac{x y}{x-y}$ days

$\frac{x+y}{x y}$ days

$\frac{x y}{x+y}$ days

$\frac{x-y}{x y}$ days

Correct Answer:

$\frac{x y}{x+y}$ days

Explanation:

Total work = Efficiency × Time

Total efficiency of both A & B = x + y

Total work = xy

Total time taken = \(\frac{xy}{x + y}\)

The correct answer is Option (3) → $\frac{x y}{x+y}$ days
