Practicing Success
A completes $\frac{7}{20}$ of a work in 10 days. Then he completes the remaining work with the help of B in 5 days. The time required for A and B together to complete the entire work is : |
$\frac{100}{29}$ days $\frac{100}{13}$ days $\frac{100}{17}$ days $\frac{100}{13}$ days |
$\frac{100}{13}$ days |
A's 10 days work = 7/20 A's 1 day work = 7/200 Remaining work = 1 - 7/20 = 13/20 A and B work together for 5 days to complete 13/20 of the work A and B one day work = (13/20)/5 = 13/100 Total time taken by A and B together to complete the work = 100/13 The correct answer is Option (2) → $\frac{100}{13}$ days |
