Practicing Success
Riya alone can complete a piece of work in 6 days while Siya alone can do the same work in 9 days. If they both work together, then how many days will be required to finish the work? |
45/13 days 18/5 days 33/17 days 55/16 days |
18/5 days |
Riya : Siya Time taken 6 : 9 Efficiency 3 : 2 Total work = LCM of 6, 9 = 18 Total efficiency = 3 + 2 = 5 Time taken to complete the work together = $\frac{total\; work}{efficiency}$ = $\frac{18}{5}$ days |
