Question:

A can do a piece of work in 10 days and B can do it in 15 days. They do the work alternatively. If B begins the work, then in how many days will the work finish?

Options:

12

15

20

10

Correct Answer:

12

Explanation:

Let the total work be 30 

1st day work (B)  = 2

2nd day work (A) = 3

Work done in every 2 days = 2 + 3 = 5

Therefore,

30 work will be completed in = 2 × 6 = 12 days
